When the telephone was tied to a wire, people were free
The conversation had a limit.
There were no constant notifications, no digital chains locked in pockets.
People talked to each other face to face, walked without interruption, and lived in the present moment.
Meetings were short, but pure, and relationships were not dependent on time but on feeling.
Talks used to take place in the living rooms of houses, voices echoed in the streets,
and everyone lived their life in reality,
not behind a screen.
Alas, as phones became wireless, so did humans become bound.
Shackled to screens, slaves to information, everywhere but nowhere in reality.
Now every moment a new piece of news, a new message, a new disruption divides our attention.
We talk, but we have forgotten to listen.
We sit together, but we are not attentive.
The small device in the pocket is now ruling our attention, our sleep, and our thoughts.
We have lost peace in exchange for convenience
Everything has come closer, but hearts have grown distant.
We are saving pictures, but we are losing love.
We express, but the feeling is left behind somewhere.
What kind of progress is this that the more connected man becomes, the more lonely he becomes?
Perhaps we have to go back to simplicity again,
We have to separate ourselves from this noise for a few moments,
And we have to give time to those relationships which are dependent not on the screen but on the heart.
Because the truth is…
When there were wires, there was less contact, but more peace.
And now that there are no wires, there is more contact…
But man is lost somewhere.
Now there is no waiting for someone to come, but waiting for a notification all the time, man has given all his attention to the mobile phone
Now it feels like
As if we are not using mobile
But
Mobile is using us
