ELECTRONIC GADGETS AND THEIR IMPACT ON YOUNG MINDS

 Engaging is the gamut of electronic and digital world and even more enticing is their meta world. We're living in virtual world. Real world is just to keep our body and soul together. We live in this real world only as long as we've to keep earning or prepare for future earning.

Let me elucidate it. Students open their books and learn, write, do practices. Working people actually travel to go to office and do their real world jobs. Policemen, Doctors, Lawyers in the court, Engineers associated with civil constructions, mechanical activities with the machines , corporate professionals up the management ladder etc are required in reality to be on field to execute real world plans. Housewives have to actually cook/order food, buy vegetables, peel, grate them, maids need to actually visit the households to clean the floor, wash dishes. We can't live without these basic real-world activities.



Beyond this, every one is seen busy toying with their mobile phones, laptops, desktops. What are they doing? Are they into any activity that will expand or generate their channels of profitable income??? Certainly no. They are whiling away their time in the digital world with their virtual friends. 

Will these friends be of any use in actual time of necessity? Yes or no both. What is in stake for the youngsters in this process? Their time of course. They are losing more of their time for incubation. This time is more vital.

Studies have found out that human attention is lost from overuse of this digital world. Today META world has been devised by every business houses to keep people engaged in the digital world. Why is this competition?

Because it's the ATTENTION ECONOMY wherein this naive world has moved into. In the digital world, when someone's attention is drawn and one is hooked into seeing something for long, that PERSON BECOMES THE PRODUCT. People serve this new world economy by WASTING THEIR OWN TIME THEREBY ENRICHING A FEW.



I've been dealing with the young minds for over three decades now. I've noticed how gullible they are. They are easily attracted towards anything that appeals to their eyes, ears. Digital world has, in the last decade, palated this opportunity exponentially to them. Now, if one tries to point it out and take those devices away, they would throw tantrums. Soon, ordinary students will continue to perform poor, brilliant students will lose their moral, ethical senses and turn into living zombies.
