It’s ironic that in this hyperconnected world full of technologies, it’s still hard to truly experience human connections with people.
So, in this episode of the Truth 4 The Youth Podcast, Garth highlights the importance of connectivity – no, not the WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, or whatever. We’ll be talking about the human connection and interaction, the one that’s pure and has existed way before technologies appeared.
Learn today how you can get your family to bond again to chitchat and laugh, just like always. Let’s admit it, it’s alarming how youth use the technologies so much.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Youth allot most of their time in social media. In public places, you see them taking a lot of selfies, tapping a lot, and their eyes are glued to their phones. They do this instead of enjoying the place and their company.
Almost every home has WIFI, it’s getting harder and harder to have movie nights, game nights, etc. with the whole family since everyone is distracted by their phones.
Parents should initiate bonding within the family, not through technologies, but something that you can talk with. Make sure that your family actually spends time on the human-to-human connection.
Another problem is kids use phones on the dining table instead of doing a catch up with the whole family. It has become very problematic.
BEST MOMENTS
“The way the human race is going… we’re not moving forward in connectivity, we’re moving away from it. Everything is becoming more remote; everything is becoming more dehumanised.”
“Be there. Be present. Put down the devices.”
