Impact of Smart Phones And Need of Digital Fasting!!

Impact of smart phones in society

• Digital gadgets like Smart Phones has become our part of daily life. Just think of any day when you gone outside without caring your phone... It's impossible to find out right?
• Smart phones are necessity now a days but please remember that, you will not die if you can not use mobile for some hours or even for some days!!! But you may die if you don't eat or have water for some days..
• We are so much addicted to Mobile that we cannot live without it for few hours, and in extreme addiction for few minutes.
• In current time, We have become slaves of mobile, we think that it's been impossible to survive without mobile but ask your parents or grand parents how do they live their lives, obvious they haven't used digital gadgets much or used it very less... Obviously we need to follow technology as per the generation but if they can  survive without mobile for years, we also survive at least for some hours!!

Impact of smart phones in kids  or teenagers or college students

• Now a days teenagers / college students are too much addicted with smart phones due to online gaming as well as social media. Those games actually creates huge bad impact on their minds.  
• Once in a month you hear a news of shooting in college, school or bar in western Countries like US, France, Germany, in most of the cases those online games have encouraged the shooter to do this violence activity

Parents!! Please stop doing this!!

• When your kid don't eat, you gave phone to your kids.  You only making habit to your kids to use smart phones. 
• Our kids must  understand Indian tradition  or culture so We must tell stories related to our culture. Instead of this we are showing them cartoons. 
• If your children is irritating you or he/she is in bad mood you give mobile to him or her. All children needs is your attention and love.
• Later on these habits can become addiction and you will not be aware about it. And you are playing with your future's life. And it worst case you need to take him to "rehabilitation center" to remove his addict from smart phones.

What is Digital Fasting? 

Digital Fasting is stay away from digital gadgets at least for few hours.

What is Need of Digital Fasting? 

• Smart Phone just add unnecessary garbage or negative thoughts or fear in our mind through social media. To clear those garbage we should have digital fasting once in a week.
• Peoples who use social Media too much (like >6 ,7 hours) they will create a new virtual world in your mind, which is far different than reality. Those people needs to go to addiction rehabilitation center to get rid of smartphone addiction. Trust me these addiction is same as addiction of alcohol or cigarette nicotine addiction  
• Fasting is very good for our body, it will clean our body similarly for mind also digital fasting is very important to stay focused.

Digital Fasting for Parents!!! Please try this at least once and see the results.

• Parents your Digital Fasting will have positive impact on your kids also, so your Digital Fasting will be little bit different one.
• Our kids always follows what parents are doing, parents are their idols so they will blindly follow what they are doing. Parents should make a habit of reading books and using mobile less, I give you guarantee that your kid will follow you after a week or after certain days. 

• Parents you have to ask your kids to follow digital Fasting once a week or set their screen timings so that it doesn't affect their studies or they can't be addicted.

Digital Fasting for Parents to be!!!

• There are thousand of evidence that child learns everything when they are in mother's womb. So at this time Mothers must stay away from phones and read Indian mythology of Krishna, Ram, Sivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap etc. to give good "Sanskar" to their children. I will be writing a separate Blog on this very soon. It's a huge topic.

It's ok not to update social media status!!!

One task for you'!! Re-memorize your last trips out of the country or  any other tourist place and try to find out the place where you haven't capture the selfie and haven't done facebook check-in or haven't updated your status? Its very difficult to find out right? This has become part of our daily life or routine.

• We feel that our trips are incomplete without social media check-ins, updates, selfies but that's not the case always.  

• why Its ok not to update your status? When we go out for a trip or we are having any life event,  instead of enjoying the trip, instead of spending good time with family, instead of feeling the nature and instead of living the moment we are busy clicking selfies and waste time in updating status, check-ins.

• I feel that We are in race of updating the fb / insta /twitter status and everyone thinks that i want to be winner of the race!! but unfortunately you will be a looser.

• why you might be looser in the race of updating status? while spending time with your phone on social media you have lost the present and pleasant  moments that we should spend with family or your loved ones. so you are a looser here.
• You may risk your life if you are at dangerous place. According to the research there are thousands of people die because of selfies at dangerous places. Major reason for their death was drowning, being hit by a train or car, or falling from a great height. Selfies become "killfies" for them. So you might loose your life too while taking a selfie.

Social Media statuses are one way to show-off

• Now it has become trend that people's happiness, success is measured by their social media updates. People update their status just to show their financial status, social status.
• Please remember those statuses are just on virtual platform, Reality can be different than what is being shared with you.

Social Media Statuses for expressing sadness:

Lot of people shares their news of relative's demises on social media  which is ok but you will see thousand of "like" on those statuses. I can't understand what to "like" in this sad news. This is really tragic and depressing.

Have some privacy in your life..

• Please have some privacy in your life... Expressing your feelings is good thing when you are too happy but we should not show it every time..

Social Media statuses are Major Reason for depression 

• Social media statuses creates depression / inferiority complex among people just because they cant afford those trips or events.
• Social media statuses encourages you to earn more money when you are not capable of what your friend has just shared, and it will create pressure / stress in your mind to earn more money. as stress level increases your mental health, physical health and it can affect your relationship and this leads to depression.
• According to the research thousand of people started feeling depressed / jealous  when they see their friend's statuses. Those people start feeling insecure, start fighting with their spouse regarding these and expecting more from them.

Make a Habit to minimize use of mobile when you are on trip:

• So next time when you go out for a trip with your loved once, switch off your phone and try to live the moment, you will have inner piece when you have unforgettable and happy moments... 
• Just live that moment because don't know how long the life is... If you can't resist yourself updating your status tell yourself  "its ok not to update status every-time"
• Please try this in your next Trip  and just share me your experience here in comments. It will be very interesting to know.

Conclusion:

• I am not saying that you shouldn't click photos/selfies or update statuses when you are on a trip. but those things must be secondary. First thing should be live the moment, First Try to feel the beauty of nature. Try to capture those beautiful moments in your eyes try to enjoy it! Once you are done with all these things and If you have some time left than you can capture your trip moments to your camera.
