Farther we connect, closer we lose.

Most of us are familiar with a story of a boy who is in pursuit of happiness meeting an intellectual king. The story goes with boy asking king "how can I find unbridled happiness all through my life?" King rather answering directly gives him a demo. He gives boy a spoon with oil in it and asks him to see the city. Boy concentrating on spoon and oil in it, doesn't observe the beauty surrounding him. When boy returns, king asks "what did you see?" Boy replies, " I didn't see anything as I was concentrating on oil in spoon". Now king takes back his condition of not spilling oil and once again asks boy to surround the city. This time boy explains the beauty of what he saw. But when king asks about oil in spoon, there will be nothing left in it. Then king with slight smile enlightens boy by saying "happiness lies around you when you observe it and unite with it, at the same time protecting what you have"

Similar to the boy who has been given spoon with oil in it, we got our mobiles and tablets in our hands. Their only strategy is divide and rule. They have become an appendage to us. We all are succumbed to it and became blind towards nature's beauty, deaf against its sounds, dumb to express feelings. We stopped talking with friends in a group, family during dinner, relatives in functions instead created groups in mobiles and social sites by common names. This addiction even made us to develop a new psychological disorders like "Nomophobia" which is fear of being without our mobile. According to few empirical evidence about 90% of people are suffering with "phantom vibration syndrome", "ringxiety or fauxcellarm", hallucinations of vibrations and phone rings. This new psychological pandemic is slowly spreading without our conscious. In long terms people with more usage of cell phones may get associated with risk of glioma (brain tumor) in long term. There isn't enough proof to support the amount of exposure and length of duration toward mobiles. Cell which we discovered for our needs is damaging the cells which we have been gifted.

If by chance we have been given an extra hand, eye and ear in evolution we might have been used for an extra mobile. If this continues, in future we might become cyborgs. Inception of new evolution. Take preventive measures like using headset, keeping it far from you. If possible live a day every week without carrying it. For every discovery there will be a red flag rising at some point of time. Everyone should be aware and beware of that. Technology should only suffice our needs, not our greed's.
