The digital world is growing at a rapid speed and that's great or is it? I feel left in the dust and unable to keep up with the latest trends in the digital arena. No one seems to want to take a traditional approach to communication.
Everywhere I turn, I'm bombarded with messages through the digital world. Anytime I'm offline, I'm directed to go online. I don't get phone calls, I receive text messages. We don't even use full words, instead, we abbreviate. My main source of communication with my friends is through e-mail and Facebook. Sometimes, we just type in our status and moods to alert others of our day. Whatever happened to face-to-face interactions?
The adoption of digital technologies has given us the mentality of having everything we want instantaneously, in just one click. This desire has created an invisible wall for society. Sure, there is content in the message, but where is the context? The words and sentences exist without emotions and non-verbal cues.
I'm not sure the digital world is the best method to create intimate, personal, and formal relationships. For advertisers, the digital world is a great environment to track and monitor users and potential buyers but there is no great depth in building relationships.
We are so caught up in our digital world that we don't understand life beyond the click.
