There is always some concern when we finish a year of work and go on the vacation of our dreams, the simple fact of changing our routine, situation and context makes us a little anxious.
If we make a reservation in a hotel, look for the one that offers wi-fi, either to go out to eat in a restaurant or have a drink in a bar, we thank those who offer us a free connection to our electronic devices.
- We are a connected society and.
- Despite the great personal.
- Emotional and even professional benefits.
- The way we interact with others has changed the way we live in the moment.
The Internet, social networks, smartphones or tablets integrate us into a world where immediacy prevails, where information is shared in seconds and where we are all connected without having to be physically present.
All this is certainly a great advantage and very important, but it affects us in other ways: “We fear disconnection”.
Being free of Wi-Fi, losing cell phone coverage, seeing our data connection reduced to a dashboard scares us, we feel isolated, uninformed and we lose contact with others, at that moment we are face to face with the world around us.
And maybe what you have in front of you right now is actually the most important thing in your life.
What would a day of our lives be like without the Internet? We know that the media, such as radio and television, are always present, but nothing is as immediate, for example, as the information that appears on our favorite portals.
Being disconnected means no longer interacting on social media and not being aware of what our friends do or don’t do, which would in a way force us to become more aware of our nearest and most tangible reality.
Does this mean that we must turn off all our electronic devices and live without the Internet?Of course not. It is a means of communication of great importance: we communicate with other people, we acquire new knowledge and we work; enriches our daily lives and allows us to grow, learn and create.
However, as with everything in life, the key is balance
? Don’t be obsessive. If you go 20 minutes without checking your mobile phone, for example, you won’t miss much.
? The Internet is a valuable tool, but we must accept it as an aid to our day-to-day life, a key to other dimensions, but not a way of life.
? We can miss many things that happen in our daily lives when we focus solely on social media.
Life is not made up of moments posted on social networks, but moments etched in our hearts, even in the silence and complicity of those we love.
We must not go to extremes or close doors: the Internet is a good thing, is society connected to a network of infinite connections, where data, information, knowledge and emotions are shared?
How do you put walls in the report and, in turn, make our lives easier?New technologies should be a tool at our disposal, not a window from which we look at life and sometimes even let it slip away.
Don’t be afraid to get where your phone suddenly loses the signal. Don’t worry if there isn’t a nearby place that has wi-fi; you can store your phone in your purse or in your pants pockets for a while.
Right now, we are not only disconnected from electronic devices, but also from the news of the world, from the vibration that alerts us to new messages, from your photos in Instagran.
Don’t worry. Inhale, enjoy this momentary disconnection in an environment where there may be no power grids, and the only valid communication channels are words, smiles, caresses or silences that decipher entire universes.
We all need these moments to break ties with our obligations, with noises and with artificial sounds Are those moments when we find ourselves without artifice, with honesty and joy, enjoying everything around us, without needing anything else?
