My thoughts about a lifeless toy, smartphone: a boon or a curse in today's evolving era.
Best page of life: Childhood.
Innocent humour, a world of selflessness, soft stuff and the form of God or what God likes best, this is my childhood full of love.
But where has this world of childhood disappeared?
Wouldn't something have happened in the mind of the person making this smartphone which destroys the happiness of children like you and their families?
An inanimate toy has made human beings its slave.
His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj was asked by a journalist, "Is smartphone a boon or a curse for our loved ones?" So he said, “If it is used judiciously, it is a boon and if used incorrectly, it is a curse.”
One day a class teacher asked a question to the children, "What do you want to become?"
One child immediately replied, "Sir, I will become a smartphone, because my mother keeps the phone with her more than me." Then the teacher asked another question, "How should mom be?"
Then the child gave a heart-wrenching answer which even the teacher was shocked to hear. The child said that "Mummy should be offline, only then she will play with me, love me, sing with me and feed me with her own hands".
Pediatrician Dr L. K. Tiwari says that "The use of smartphones has proved fatal for children. Due to smartphones, children are becoming stubborn and victims of depression. The mother who silences the crying children is most responsible for all this." If a person uses his phone for 4 to 5 hours every day, he wastes 10 years out of 50 years.
The phone company had a slogan, "Take the world in your hands."
I ask all of you that "Has man taken the world in his grasp or has mobile taken man?" Mobile phone has made human beings its slave.
It is a tool of technology which is fine, but today due to its wrong use man has become crazy and phone has become smart. You will definitely feel bad but this is the truth.
Some lines of Dr. Madhu Dhawan come to mind,
"I am the blessing of science, the pride of the technological age,
Let me remain a blessing,
Don't make me a curse,
Let me remain mobile,
Don't make me the cause of accidents."
We have to think and we have to understand. What you think and understand depends on you.
