Essay / The Importance of Technology and the Internet - 1598
For the health of the mind, one needs social interaction because humans are considered social beings. Conversely, what I seem to observe is that we are becoming a detached community. Simply put, we can participate in a discussion, attend a function or even work from wherever we are. The Internet has given us the power to be distant. Our minds are not stimulated by human interaction, but more by social media and Twitter. We become socially isolated. I find it true that we spend less time participating in family activities and even less time sleeping because we are absorbed in surfing.
