"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction, the world will have a generation of idiots." Albert Einstein

Those who neglect to see reality will be the ones more likely close to failure.


What are the costs  we are willing to pay from our compulsive internet use? Is the internet becoming an addictive source? Will we choose to stop using it, or moderate the use we give it a day for a change?  Often we find ourselves using the internet for no reasons; either just because we are bored, or maybe because we think we have nothing more important to do.  The truth is that with the pass of time society has become addicted to the use of social media due to the lack of security, acceptance, and knowledge. Moreover, they think that they get more attention from others via internet, and some other people are also more likely to make or obtain friends and attention faster than they will ever do in real life. By this I am not stating that everyone is like that. Others rely on social media to obtain information faster than what they will ever do sitting in a library, but is that really helping us? Who are we really helping here? Now a day’s Google has become our loyal friend we use internet to get around, socialize, make purchases, study, and see friends, pay bills, library online, music, maps, help guides among others… We might think that we are saving time by searching and obtaining information in seconds. The truth is that we are relying on resources like those to make our lives easier without thinking on what we will become, and how it will affect us in a future without technology.
