In hope of a better world
Modern technology enables us to connect with anyone in the world whenever we want.But the world which we have created today in hope of connecting people is totally disconnecting us.
Technology has changed the way we live or see the things around. Not only how we communicate but also our behaviour has changed because of it.
According to Sherry Turkle (Sociologist and Psychologist)
Now we look to the network to defend us against loneliness even as we use it to control the intensity of our connections.
Adding to her statement I would say today everyone has that tool which helps them escape the real world and allow them to enter to the virtual world which they have created for them. This virtual world is full of all the best things they desire or interest in even the people. Just because today technology is providing almost everything with less effort and time people do not want to come out it. People are living in the world of instant gratification. And when a situation comes when they have to deal with real problems and that too without technology, they get panic.
Technology today not only making our life simple but also changing our behaviour and in the race of making this world a better place we are adopting change which on the other end giving rise to a different type of stress-related problems.
Let me explain you with the simple example of PASSWORDS. Previously we used to have 3-4 online account passwords people were easily able to remember it for a longer time. But when it comes to 17–18 online accounts which are an average number of accounts people have these days so to remember these passwords we make our devices store the password in their memory but when the situation occurs in which user have to login into their own account using some other device they really usually click on forgot password and rename it using two-step authentication which is a very common practice these days. Creating a new password add a new password into your memory but forgetting the password at a particular moment does not mean that your memory has deleted the previous password. Hence user has created a confusion and most of the time this confusion leads to password fatigue.
