Social Media ke 100-100 apps… use karke humne dekhe hai…

Ek me bhi tanha the 100 me bhi akele hai...

Assalmu alaikum

Honourable Guests, respected judges, teachers and my dear brother and sisters. I am Ibrahim
from Roots & Wings Academy, studying in grade 8 & I am going to talk about technology & how
it makes people lonely.

Undoubtedly, technology has changed our life and eased our labour. However, when it comes
to connect people through technology, it does more harm than good. Society we are living in
today, is more shattered than ever before. Family, which is the basic unit of society, seems to
have members with no close relations as we are busy on social media platforms using
technology. Apparently, they seem connected throughout the world but in reality, they are
disconnected from their kith and kin.

Now, imagine a picture with kids playing with their parents, happily enjoying! In the second
picture, the kids are sad because their parents busy with their mobiles and not playing with
them. The happy family is connected without technology. A direct friendship without using any
technology with a couple of people is far better than a virtual friendship with thousands of
people.
When we meet face to face, we experience their emotions, we see the happy and sad face of
the people, we understand them and they also understand us. On the contrary connectivity
through technology does not give you this experience even using AR or VR.

People keep updating their posts on social media platforms. They post what they eat or drink,
what they wear, and every single thing and they become self-centered and they love
themselves only. And thus, become lonely! With technology, we start to compare our life with
others and we just compare ourselves with the amount of likes & followers someone else has.

To feel lonely is to have an overwhealming feelings of being separate from those around you.
The excessive use of social media is the main reason for being lonely due to less personal
interactions. Again I say:
Social Media ke 100-100 apps… use karke humne dekhe hai…
Ek me bhi tanha the 100 me bhi akele hai...
It exemplifies the present situation of people who are lonely even in crowd because they have
virtual connectivity.
Loneliness can be life threatening. It causes biological and psychologic problems and can even
lead one to death.
Technology makes us feel lonelier. It ruins our ability as a human to talk to a person face to face
to the point it causes anxiety.
With this, I take my place… Jazakallaahu Khair
