Written by - Shalini Bishi
INTRODUCTION
In day to day life from morning to night 24/7 we surrounded by technology that may be in the form of mobile, television, health purpose or in studies.
And the development of technology leads to development of country. The developed country like - USA, japan, China are more technologically sound than other developing country , and the reason behind that is they try to increase the knowledge on technology and use that technology in their country.
In some of the country like japan technology e.g - robot replace the human and they perform that respective work very clearly without any error, because their is a chances of mistakes by human but their is no chance of error by a robot.
In other countries also Al (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ) replace the books , magazine and other sources.
When we discussed about the technology the word "SOCIAL MEDIA" play a vital role in society.
EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA: FROM SIMPLE CONNECTION TO COMPLEX NETWORK VEDIC ERA
When people do not know how to read and write they user the method of "SHRUTI AND SMRITI" It means people used to listen(Shruti) and memorize(smriti) the knowledge.
After that people learned how to read and write then people used to read veda, upanishad and books and gained knowledge.
TECHNOLOGY ERA
After vedic era a new era was introduced which change the whole society and the era was - era of technology which increasing day by day continuously.
And the era start from gaining knowledge, information from radio and television which was very useful and innovative inventions. Then start the emerging trend of laptop and mobile , whether knowledge is in our finger tips.
This is all about the evolutions but as the the topic demand
THE VIRTUAL SELF : HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS CHANGING OUR SENCE OF IDENTITY AND HUMAN RELATION
Every topic has some good aspect and bad aspect, when we talking about technology and social media we can say that due to the technology our life become more easier, it help to stay connected with people who lives miles away from us, we can get information at any time any place, we can able to make connection with people even with strangers, without step out from house we can able to attend meetings , seminar.
But according to my opinion can I say that we are
"DISCONNECTED IN A CONNECTED SOCIETY " or can I rename the title as" THE LONELINESS EPIDEMIC : HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS CONTRIBUTING TO SOCIAL ISOLATION "
Because technology is good enough but effect badly to the mental condition of people as well as effect the relationship of persons with their family and friends .
Medium through which we can stay connected with people of other state and country but we loose connection with the person who lives with us under the same roof.
We share our feelings, problem, happiness through social media and Many more people know about us who lives in miles distance but the person who live by our side don't eve know what is going on in our life. We lives in a joint family but we loose our joint family status in the term of "joint" because joint family does not means only live together it also means share each other's happiness, problem.
In pre- technology era our life was not easy as compared to Today's time but we enjoyed every moment with our family , friends and share quality time with them. But now every single person become addicted to social media from child to old age people. We forgot outdoor games , meeting physically with friends it also some how effect the mental condition and also effect the relationship with other person , and about the term mental condition that means if we don't meet other person then we can not share a strong bond with others and we can not able to share our feelings which leads to depression and anxiety , before this era people used to share feelings with others and came to a solution but now a days we don't use the traditional Method , we don't share any thing to others we only use social media to divert our mind , but we can't understand that it is solution for temporary time not for permanent.
CONCLUSION
According to my opinion technology and social media play a huge role in our society and for development of India it makes things easier but it should use for good purpose and we should not and also can not replace this technology to human relationship because now a days social media some how replace the relationship but it is a fact that human relationship is much more important than the technology.
