Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?
I came across
this video last year, it’s called ‘Can we auto-correct humanity?’ This video
leads me to realize the irony in our ‘stimulating’ technology. A YouTuber and artist called Prince Ea, he speaks about how
humanity has taken a turn
because of our technology. He put the reason why the video was made on the
video description ‘Why I refuse to let technology control me. You need not
delete your social networks or destroy your cell phones, the message is simple,
be balanced, be mindful, be present, be here. :)’. Prince Ea said many
things that caused me Goosebumps because there were things that I can relate to
and am sure many from the over 11 million viewers can too.
‘Kind of ironic ain't it, how these touch screens
can make us lose touch’ ‘I asked a friend the other day lets meet up face to
face, they said alright, what time you want to Skype? I
responded with OMG Srs with a bunch of SMH’s and I realized what
about me… do I not have the patience to have a conversation without
abbreviation this is the generation of media overstimulation’.
Have we ever stopped and thought about the irony in
technology? The fact that we became addicted to electronics and it leads to
affecting our lives and environment. Communication over the years has become short and more
succinct. I know that technology helps spread his next of communication,
for example, you can track your old friends now and even talk to a
family member who is not in the same country as you on the other hand
technology has made us more selfish and conceited, is it because the ‘ipads’ ‘iPod’
‘phones so many I’s but yet not enough We’s and Us’.
