GROWING ADDICTION OF MOBILES

It is the age of science and technology and internet has become modern God. Internet and mobile has become indispensible and we cannot live with ease without these devices. But, as excess of everything is bad, same logic applies to the excessive use of mobiles. Proper use of mobile is all good but total dependence on mobile has eroded the social and moral fabric of society. It does not mean that we should not use these modern gadgets but should use them in a proper way. It is not a denying fact that we have become addicted to the mobile and taking selfies. The misuse of mobile and addiction for taking selfies are bane of modern life. Mobile is mostly misused by the younger generation and the student community. One may be at home or in a social function, there is always calm and quite atmosphere as all people are busy with their mobiles and internet. It has eroded the credibility of the social gathering. The addiction of mobile and taking selfies is so bad that even children are not an exception and remain stuck to mobiles for hours together. They have become aggressive and do not care a fig for the elders. In our homes, children and other members are always busy with their mobiles and thave no time to talk with each other besides developing social interaction, which is really unfortunate. All people remain busy with their cell phones and have no time to talk to elders. The addiction of mobiles is so intense that people even forget their meals while using mobiles. With excessive dependence on mobiles, the fashion of taking selfie has become a routine for everyone, including children, youth, women and even senior citizens. We have seen that many accidents happened while taking selfie on mountains, hazards places, near rivers etc. Not only the value of society has been eroded by the mobile addiction but there seems no love among family members as all are always busy in chatting through mobile and have no time to attend family matters. In fact we have become so addicted to mobiles that we ignore our responsibilities as active members of the society. We give preference to mobile chatting than face to face talk, due to which social values have came at stake. Excessive use of the mobile and internet has lead to the downfall of the power of reasoning as all information is always readily available through mobiles and internet, leading to non-development of overall personality. As such, we should think about excessive use of mobile and its addiction. The excessive use and in fact the addiction to mobile internet has made our life easy but at the same time has made man slave of the mobiles. It is high time that we should self-introspect and see where we are going wrong and what is missing to lead a peaceful life. Man is social by nature and has to abide social values and adhere to moral. The morality and sociability is at stake which is sign of a backward society. It shows that we are moving towards olden days, which is not good for the society. Inspite of all advantages of mobile phones, their excessive use and virtual addiction has robbed society and families of social values. It is not that we should not use mobile phones or take selfie but it should be used in limits so that we don’t become slaves of mobile and internet, as we the Masters and these things have been made for our comfort. In short, we should learn to use all innovations of science and Information technology in a proper and restricted way, so that we may not get dependent on these slaves of humanity.
