Our Digital Lives
Our digital lives
Our digital lives, what did he mean by that? Well, I have my own interpretation of the subject that I’d like to share with you before I go on to the analyzing of the ted talk performance. As a person being online a lot and have experienced more stuff than most people online now-a-days. I got my first computer when I was 8 or 9 maybe, and I myself, would say that I undoubtedly became numb to a lot of mind shaking experiences at a fairly young age, approximately around ten. Compared to before the internet existed when people lived those same moments in their mid-twenties, that I got information and pictures of at my young age. It goes without saying that our digital lives make us grow up faster and discover things much earlier than our parents and their parents. You could say it’s both positive and negative, but for everyone before our generation this is an abrupt change and will probably affect those people in a way that for example, our parents have to raise us differently because of the vast changes happening to kids in general.
I often describe our digital lives and relations that start digitally as a much more free and less awkward environment, in a relationship people can reach and unravel the other persons innermost thoughts and feelings for good and bad, it’s conversing without our physical flesh getting in the way and protecting our inner self. People often feel like they can say what they feel and want without and conscious because no one on there really knows how you look like, that’s also why it’s so common for people to lie and “troll” on the internet. Therefor there are also people that express their hatred, Racism, Nazism; simply because no one can stop them.
One other thing that our on-going technical development does is, people don’t meet as much face to face anymore, business meetings happens over the phone or Skype, couples text each other “I love you” because it’s not as frightening and real as saying it to a person’s
