As time goes by, technology gets more advanced, it gets
easier and easier to do what you love, alone, by yourself. Today, kids look
less forward to getting together with their friends, and more towards getting
together with their phone, TV, or computers. Its now really easy to just sit at
home and play games, or watch movies for eight hours. You don't have to go
outside anymore and see the beauty of nature, you can simply look up beautiful
nature on your phone and find really pretty views around the world.
More and more kids are having less and less friends, and
now, they don't even need them. Some kids literally don't have any friends, and
don't even realize what they are missing, because all the social interaction
they need is the television screen, and seeing the main characters of a show
have a relationship. Some shows even make people not want to have friends, and
human interactions because of how crazy and stupid people are (Jersey Shore).
Some people just don't want anything to do with that part of life, so they
would rather just watch crazy things happen to other people, or other people do
daring things, and not risk anything themselves, they would rather just let
other people do it and watch, while they laugh at, or with the characters of
the show, or game.
Another thing that has come out of new technology is
relationships and friendships online. People who play online may talk to other
people playing the same game as them, find out they have some things in common,
and end up becoming friends, or even in a relationship. Even if you have known
somebody for a year, do you really known them. It is not the same as a long
distance relationship because you have never seen them before. I'm not saying
this because I'm a shallow person, and saying "what if they were ugly the
whole time, and you didn't even know". A lot of you men and woman have
been abducted, or murdered because they had online friend ships of
relationships, and when they finally went to meet up, one of them was not who
they said they were, and on of them never comes back home. Or even on a less
dramatic scale, what if somebody is completely nice over the screen, or letter,
and then you see them in person and they are a complete slob, and you are a
clean freak. It will hinder how well you will get along with each other. Body
language can go a long way too, what if they were ignoring you the whole time
online, and you couldn't notice because you couldn't see if they were doing
something else while you were talking to them, maybe they don't know as much about
you as you know about them.
In just this short decade or two kids have become less
social, and more introverted, and secluded. What will happen in the next 25
years, will technology become more advanced, will you not have to leave your
room for anything, there already are online schools, and plenty of
entertainment. what will come next. Or have we reached the peak, and kids are
already secluded as possible. Or will we begin to correct ourselves, and become
less dependent on technology, and start having more friends, and social
interactions. Don’t let the matrix control you.
