Checking your phone constantly is a new addiction. Most of the
time people are doing it to know if they have received enough ‘likes’ or ‘thumbs
up’. Psychologists say that a typical person checks his/her phone every 15
minutes or less when half of the time he/she has not received any alerts or
notifications. Its coming from their head.
A Fact to Ponder:
Smartphones, tablets, or the Internet can be addictive because
their use can trigger the release of the brain chemical dopamine to alter mood
— which is exactly what drugs and alcohol do.
Your constant anxiousness to know if you have missed out any
important updates and messages generates Cortisol, which eventually stresses
you out and you immediately check-in to your smartphone to get rid of the
anxiety and stress. Kindly do not miss to watch the video link given at the end
of this article. It has alarming information worth noting. Did you know,
Steve Jobs who revolutionized the entire world with iPhone, restricted the
usage for his kids?
We live in the same house with our family-children, parents
but most of the time completely disconnected because we are hooked up checking
our smartphone. The major impact of internet is that we get personalized
messages and mails based on the preferences we have expressed in one site and
it links to all and we are carried away. Tobacco company hunted our lungs,
smartphones and apps have hunted down our souls.
Relationships are having a serious negative impact. Now people
and their children are becoming a sophisticated machine. God made us to be
inter-dependent and connected to each other, love one another, share our joys
and happy moments with one another. We are failing miserably to maintain
healthy relationships with God and people. With all the revolution in
the tech world it is only forcing us to connect at a superficial
level even with God. Superficiality is the result of this new behavior.
Get motivated personally and encourage your children to read good books and be
people friendly. More than therapy you need the help of the divine God to liberate
you from the addiction and connect to reality. Think about it.
Religion and your lifestyle cannot run parallel, it needs to be interconnected.
