…. your best friend was your worst enemy?
You carry your best friend around with you all the time, and he’s calling your attention virtually all the time,
either with a trembling only you can feel, or insistent ringing tone. Yes it’s your phone, that little rectangle
which demands you look at him more times a day than you can remember.
His insistence makes you unaware of the fact that looking at your screen slowly becomes an obsession:
instead of face to face relationships, you’re being drawn into phone to phone relationships. What that means
is that you are relating to a very narrow age-range of people, mainly your peer group. Real friends being
replaced by virtual ones.
You begin living in virtual reality instead of the real world. Does that matter? Perhaps you need to think about
this carefully. Is it true that these are the only people whose opinions matter?
