When we see people these days, you can see them scrolling and scrolling and again scrolling after seeing your lifeless face. Facebook, Instagram and YouTube has become the priority now. Its like everything that happens in there, the way the celebrities dress, the family gatherings, the office milestones, anything you mention, its there and that has become more important than anything else. Its always there. Everybody sees the viral video, making it viral. They forever forget that, its them watching that video, is the one who is making it viral.
A phone, a smart phone, has become an undenied necessity of everyone's everyday life. And also a shield during awkward conversations. Just look at the phone screen when you are talking and it's a clue the opposite person has to catch from the other that, they are not interested in the conversation or they can stop it right there and start their own scrolling bussiness. And surprisingly or unsurprisingly, this body language has invaded relationships too. For centuries, women, who talk to their husbands tend to be said unheard. Cellphone has just made it easier.
Children tend to neglect their parents, which they always do. But, the intensity with which they do it, have increased. And with everything from bad to worse to worst available in that little piece of electronic marvel, the anxiety of parents have rose to the peak. Child rearing is not going to be easy with the phones clinging around everybody's thumb. And the life of those kids are no easier either. The unattainable or over expectations, that will be placed on them, by their millennial parents and by themselves on them, like a perfect body shape, stupid online challenges and the fear of missing out, if they switch off their phone, is going to make them more clinging to their phones, than to their beloved parents.
Conversations have become awkward. And the scrolling thing, a new normal. Posting statuses and stories have become another new normal. And online bullying and poking and stalking are ruining lives, every minute.
While, the millennial era has brought everything in our fingertip, the fear and the truth of running your entire life also remains to be in a fingertip. Not just yours, but the entire human kind can ditch you in a fingertip. Just pray to be lucky enough, not to let you emotions, react on the Social media platforms. Pray for a normal life. Pray for a normal day, in the era of electronic viral videos. Pray that you shouldn't be a part of it, for your own good. Well, if it's a good one, then you are already lucky.
