Why Moderinsation is making us lose our focus

Nowadays information and knowledge is just few clicks away. We have become habitual to search for everything on hands. But are we getting those benefits that are expected??

Social networks are filled with more and more exciting news that can easily distract us. We open Facebook with intents to just see the important notifications but end up losing two hours without even knowing. If I am up to write something about my project or I am googling to do some research,  the beautiful enchanting side things pop up and take me away from my path. We have grown an attention span of a one year old child, getting easily derailed from the track.We are losing focus. We are losing our concentration. Our minds are getting more and more dumb.

              We should seriously be looking into this problem. The question is, is the modern technology making us smarter?  Are we doing our tasks more effectively? Are these things saving our time? The answer is yes, yes the information technology is doing all these things. It is increasing the productivity of our businesses. It is helping promote small businesses. It is helping to raise your voice. It is helping socialize with far off people, connecting people, sharing knowledge.

             All the good the technology is doing is not one sided. It has its opposite side too, the bad venomous side. If it is helping us to socialize with far off people, then it is also making us anti social to the persons that actually matter in our life. The family time, the dinner time, the friends time are all now replaced by the smartphones’ time.

Modernisation has changed our behaviour. Our dealings have changed. We try to come to decisions quickly. Our approach to relations has become systematic. We dont enjoy life, we dont live it, we are just passing it. Moments are happening around us and we are so busy in our gadgets, we are losing all the fun outside.

What we need is a little time. Take some break out of this haziness that is our self created. We need to calm down our life. Slow down a little. We are not supposed to compete each other. No one is getting ahead of us. We shall not be left behind. Take this time and think for a minute. Think about your life. Dont look to others. Dont compare yourself to others. Just see yourself and imagine what would you be after ten years. Make your goals and follow them. Do one thing at a time. Dont try to grab all the things at once. And the uttermost key is to keep your focus. Dont lose your focus. One thing at a time. Keep your focus.

Stay blessed.

Happy blogging.
