Technology gives us a better life:

  • more connections,
  • online buy
  • travel around.....

Connections are all at our fingertips:

cellphone, internet, facebook, twitter

Social media gives us endless connections, makes us unsocial in turn.

Just one click:

  • we are connected to people who we want,
  • and with people who we don't want

When we are connected, we loose our

  • identity
  • conversations
  • own time
  • relationships

Being connected we are no better than the nomads.

We roam around various connections
but we don't settle down in conversation with our family and friends.

Technology really gives us a better living when we use it rather than we are used by it.

Being connected, we camouflage ourselves to be always with people.

The more we are connected, the more we are isolated.

We plug in, and loose relations;
We text but we don't have conversation.

  • We need space to contemplate,
  • we need to unplug connections for a while,
  • we need to retrieve our relations and conversation.

Still we need to be connected to make certain matters simple and easy going.

The limit of using media technology should be
"...not too little, not too much, just right".
