Nowadays we don’t have much in common anymore. That’s because the Internet, which was supposed to unite the world, has become too adept at serving us personalized content.
It is separating us away from uniting.
Technology is slowly taking over our lives here are some stats that prove it:
- Apple launched its first iPhone 11 years ago. 2.3 billion people own an iPhone now.
- 47% of jobs will disappear in the next 25 years as robots will replace 5 million workers by 2020.
- Students are preparing for jobs that don’t exist using technologies that haven’t been invented.
- The Digital Revolution is just starting.
Our stories were inspired by the modern issues that come from technology and social media. Especially in today’s generation, technology use is getting out of hand and needs to be controlled.
The episode of Nosedive from Black Mirror also inspired us because it introduced a new perspective on the problems that are caused from technology, as well as its' features such as social media, but that’s a whole different discussion.
Try to ask yourself these three questions
- Is technology affecting me negatively?
- Am I controlling technology the right way?
- How can I use technology more productively?
Use these questions to find out how technology is affecting you and realize how to make technology use more beneficial than harmful to yourself.
