Hey you stop using your phone it's my turn to speak, . All of you stop using your phones whatever you are doing can wait. Your feelings are taking over your lives. They are preventing you from completing your homework, preventing you from going outside, and they are preventing you from paying attention to me, right now, have you ever given a thought why we are so subconsciously glues to these lit up rectangles of ours ? π²π²π² Well I believe the main culprit is social media., one of my favourite comedians one said, " social media is just the market's answer to the generation that demanded to perform" we shure do. We mindlessly curate and upload every single moment of our lives on to a cesspool of social media platforms to give Oscar winning performancesππππ..... But to who? An audience who really couldnt care us . Well I mean maybe some do, but who are we kidding? We are really not packing the theatres with our insta stories, right ?π Then why? Why are we so addicted?
I posit it because social media provide a constant feedback loop, increasing attention seeking habits- 5 likes, 2 comments 1, new follower request. Admit it,it makes you feel good and then you continually crave this satisfaction whenever you log into your accounts.it makes you scared that if you don't get likes if you don't share your opinions,you won't know what is going on anymore and you fear not being relevant to your friends , may I just ask have you ever visited a haunted house , i went there once , so as usual we wait an hour or so before entering the Haunted House, we were so scared but one of my friend he was just in his own zone, social media streak , he went in , took videos in between a shrieking and then this is where it gets good. he literally stood in the middle of the haunted house to type a caption. π€¦Because nothing beats giving a live broadcast, right? He was surrounded by monsters of all sorts πΉπΏπunintimidated by them, while the rest of us were busy looking for exit . π Could you imagine if this was the zombie apocalypse? He would be the fool who died before everyone else just because you know "ehhh wait wait uhhh bhoot oh my god grey wait wait let me post my story ohh god ghost uhhππ
Please dont kill me let me upload my blog bro .....ππππ
That was a fun part the sad one is , Guys this isn't living , we aren't living, I too have become victim of these too many times. Instead of enjoying concerts . I would like to take 10 seconds video every 20 seconds for no good reason , not being able to remember other then "the concert was good , i guess..? And i did this time and again . Through social media we are only living an askew second handed experience. There is no need to instantly snap everything we see before us , only to enjoy the moment when it is over through our own photos and videos . . Guys I hate to say this but our parents and teachers were right, let's put away our phones once in a while. Let's genuinely enjoy our time with our friends and family without a phone between US and their faces. Let's stop living our lives through screens. Let's start living again.
