TECHNOLOGY AND TRIVIALIZATION

What is the desire to be noticed ? How important is it that thousands of people know what we say and do ? Who do we want to impress ? Why ? Do we become a better person because of  being viewed by an audience ? This is the society of trivialization. Any nonsense can go viral, and once seen we continue the same without improving our own lives or those of others due to the underlying unsubstantiality. Internal disconnection and exclusive attention to external affairs generate a void that is sought to be fille through supposed enthusiastic doses that contribute nothing due to their unfounded value.                                         How bad are if satisfaction depends on these narcissistic operations which highlight the lack of goals and life purpose aimed at advancing as individuals.                                                                                               To know if what we want to spread to the crowd is right, the question to ask is : Is important for people to know about this action ? How more important be for us the more someone knows what we do, the less true this action is. And in the reverse, the less recognition, the more true it is.                                                      We take actions driven by desires, but according to these we will reveal the true essence. Motivation should not arise to satisfy the ego that implies a disconnection from the global, but to guide ourselves by the inner voice that will lead to a feeling of well being that does not depend on praise, exaltation or the approval of others. One experience reserved unduobtedly a very small minority group in the face of this inconsistent majority that reduces everything to simplistic statements lacking relevance and absence of quality.

MOBILE LIVES

Since the XIX century , society has been continuously modernized incoprporating appliances and machinery to improve working and living conditions. They perform specific functions when their contribution is required, and once completed we park them.                                                                           The mobile phone is currently a predominant tool for the various services offered. There is a favorable and detrimental side. The favorable side are options, the speed, the comfort, the operational possibilities with the facilities in many different aspects. The detrimental side is staying glued to the device for hours when its use is not precise.                                                                                                                                       The function of all the tools created has been to make them more dynamic when it was relevant, and then disconnect. Now with the mobile phone the procedure that affected each machine has been broken. The person controls the on and off, and if you let yourself be seduced by the device, it is the one that controls you.                                                                                                                                                                    What is that captivates you to get caught ? Does it report any profit at the end of the day ? Broades horizons , increases learning, better discernment ? Improve our behavior and relations ?                              Busy in insubstantial questions we don´t have the attention to discover what we really want and know the best options in order to act in a good way. Too much hours dilluted like evaporated water, so one day and another without a way out to break this inertia.                                                                                               How would we manage time today without a mobile phone ? With edifying tasks ? Increasing the reading and more exercise ?. Devoted to our mobile phones, we are disconnected from what surrounds us, with an addictive sensations that condition schedules, actions and daily organization.                                               The gaps and shortcomings will not be fill by the mobile. We must work in us in order to develop the potential that bring optimal conditions, and all the extra time absorbed in a screen, they will be missed opportunities for personal improvement.
