Privacy and Artificial Happiness
Privacy has become the new subtitle of the 21st century life. Specially this decade of 2020. Since when COVID in confusion brought ‘social-distancing’ instead of ‘physical distancing’; people have taken the misconception too much at heart. And yeah, privacy has its perks:
§ It gives you space to grow
§ It helps us learn more
§ Less distraction increases work vitality
§ You get ample time to shape your creativity
But privacy is a part of our life. We are mistakenly surrounding our
life with the walls of privacy. The evils of privacy that we do not see are
where,
§ It is curbing our communicative attitude
§ It is making us secluded. (like come on, we are social beings)
§ It is making us un-human
Remember the era of 2010s, when we had debates over how far the impact
of social media is positive? And the strongest points were-
§ It has brought the world closer.
§ Has connected us with far-away friends.
§ Has filled the gaps of physically distant loved ones?
Well, we humans are so cool, aren’t we? Because social media made us too
globally connected. We gifted ourselves with the antidote of the so-called cool
term ‘privacy’ and found it better to stay away from people at hand!
This un-human coolness that we have found is what is pushing the world
to prioritize discussion over Chat-GPT instead of Poverty. This
un-communicative attitude is the reason why we are celebrating more the
dependency on Artificial Intelligence over the success of a friend.
How far has Privacy tilted your life?
Is
it connecting you to yourself? OR Is it disconnecting
your wires with the world. Are you strong enough to maintain a private
life? OR Are you too weak to accept your situations and find seclusion a better option than solution!
I mean, how far maintaining your privacy is important to you. If it is
causing havoc and confusion in your relationships. If it is affecting your
communicative patterns and diminishing your social identity. If you are failing
to trust people with the details of your life and now you don’t know how to
trust people. If you are losing touch with the ones that make life really
happier and healthier.
IS YOUR PRIVACY MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOUR LIFE?
Well, then your biological mother should have never breastfed you for the sake
of ‘her privacy’!
Today Privacy is showing itself up as a threat to the most basic human
traits. We are failing to socialize unless we have a life to show off. We are
failing to communicate unless we have a need to manipulate. We as a human race
are failing to act humanly when we relish and feast over a technology that will
turn the tables upside down.
My mom and I were watching a TV show the previous night. And she said, “See,
the artificial plants in the office are such a beautiful decoration. And they
look so pretty.” And I said, “Yes they are pretty, but they are not real. They are
hassle free, ever-beautiful, easy to handle but they are not real. We need to
grow actual plants and trees!”
Just like mom used to say, “One lie will lead you to thousand lies”. This
trend of feasting on artificial life will push us to the edge at becoming a
more artificial version of ourselves.
CONNECT. RELIVE. COMMUNICATE.
