By The end of the 1990s, it has been easier to communicate through new technologies than to talk to someone in person. Many people, and young people in particular, do not seem to worry that certain types of contact disappear. They see transactions as just that with little or no need for direct human contact. And people who used to hang out together now "hang out" together online.
Actually, today's technology had cut of ourself from human interaction. One of its paradoxes is that it connects us and isolates us at the same time, and we can somehow feel less satisfied. New technologies revolution is having its effects on all of us.
Statistics show that most people report a lack of communication and the generation coming online don't know conversation face to face. They are happy to hold conversation and transactions through WhatApp, Snapchat and Twitter. In addition, people sometimes get information through smartphone, Ipad or cellphone that they don'r really need.
As the British columnist Tony Schwartz says, information people ordinarily consume leaves they poorly nourished and still hungry and, consequently, their brains may feel overloaded and need time to clear they out. If we had a crazy busy month at work, we would need a short vacation. But what we need most of all is a period of total digital disconnection. The greater the performance demand, the greater the need for recovery. And getting away from our job or town wouldn't be enough if we were to remain tethered to our online life. When I am on holiday I always decide not to bring my I pad or my cellphone: I soon realise how satisfying any adventure is when it is not interrupted.
