Connected but alone

This topic get me interest to write over here,”The topic connected but alone”. Technology is broad in our society to rely on and use every time to make our work convenient and fast. As a millenial the digital technology becomes high tech and useful to to communicate your love ones ,friends and etc...these days , those phones in our pockets are changing our minds and hearts because they offer us three gratifying fantasies .one, that we can put our attention wherever we want it to be; two, that we will always be heard ;and three that we will never have to be alone.I want to make a call .Now it’s :I want to have a feeling, I need to send a text .the problem of this regime of I share therefore I am that, if we don’t have connection ,we don’t feel like ourselves .so what do we do? We connect more and more but in the process ,we st ourselves up to be isolated.how do u get from connection to isolation? You end up isolated if u don’t cultivate the capacity for solitude ,the ability to be separate,to gather your self .solitude is where you find yourself so that you can reach out to people and form real attachments.when we don’t have the capacity for solitude , we turn other people in order to feel less anxious or in order to feel alive . When this happen ,we are not able to appreciate who they are.It’s as though we’re using them as a spare parts to support our fragile sense of self .we slip into thinking that always being connected is going to make us feel less alone.when I went to fast food I saw a family gathering instead they are meeting up to had a conversation all of them it seems they don’t know each other because they aren’t talking nor to share any topic to be talked .all of them are using cellphone ,I said to myself is that a family gathering? Not even talking each other ,no attachment ,might they came coz of they are connected as family ...most of us 24/7 using mobiles , even doing laundry, cooking, cleaning house , we keep fidget and feel bored without phones but always bare in our mind we must to give time our family to talk to and to treasure the time were you are together....those little devices on our pocket are so powerful that they don’t change what we do but change who we are....teddybear teddybear teddybear

Yes and that’s reality ,the disadvantage that we get from digital technology....it controls our mind and self to do things ....we will lose socializing to our friends ,relatives and love ones to feel them being attach by the power of conversation than chatting on social media sitting alone .comfort
When I traveled from one state another to where I live I only used my mobile for one purpose only was to keep in touch with the ones who I was going to be renting from so they would know when I would be arriving.
Later on I donated my mobile to the troops.
Sometimes I wonder who we are any more with all this social media, with so many accounts - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, various blogs and forums... Do we know all those "friends" and "relatives" any more? Do we know ourselves?
I have no problem disconnecting from my phone....I sometimes even leave it at home if im not going to be needing it for anything....I don't need to be connected 24/7 and there is nobody that is gonna call that I cant get back to later......wine
