Enjoy the little things.
Technology has
changed our way of living. It has brought us a comfortable life and mechanized systems,
which make the day to day easier. But, that
is not always an advantage. Transferring the above to daily life, the focus of
every single person in their phones and devices has made them lose the
beautiful details of life. Most of us check our Facebook page and twitter
account, instead of look around and appreciate the precious moments and good
people, persons that actually love us, and are there for us.
Also, we cannot keep
our good memories to ourselves. In these days it seems like everyone needs to
share their vacations, engagement proposals and the beautiful sunsets. It looks
that it is impossible to just remember the moment as a mental picture; it has
to be shared with the world and become part of the web. Like Gary Turk says in
his video: "We are generation of idiots, smartphones and dumb
people". We need to stop seeing the "web potential" in every
event, avoid the thoughts about the likes that our status could reach and stop
making group conversations in WhatsApp instead of organize a reunion on a Friday
night.
It is time to return
to phone calls, letters and social interaction. Maybe we need to get back to
the old visits, where the guests brought a delicious pie and the hosts used to
prepare a succulent meal. We cannot stand with the silence of the parks, it is
moment to take out the children, forget the iPads and tablets, and get dirty in
the trees and the ground. Now is the time to give love, laugh and shut down and
devices. Let´s enjoy our lives.
