Computers Immerse Us into an Imaginary World

No doubt that computer is the best invention of present era. Everyone talks about computer. Everyone uses it. Even everyone is benefiting from it. We are surrounded by computers just like honeycomb surrounded by honey bees. Wherever we go we see computers around us. It seems that it has become the most important part of our life just like food. We can’t even image our lives without computer. We are using computers in every field of life, education, industry, offices etc. Most important we are using for communication. It has increased and modified our way of communication. The world is on your fingertips. By pressing a button, you are near your friend, talk to him, he is in front of you. Just a video or audio call takes you there. Now communication has contracted the distances. It has shrined the world. Stephen Hawking once said, “we are all connected to internet just like neurons in a giant brain”

Modern ways of communication have destroyed the quality of human interaction. We are in the race of improving living standards. We are trying to invent fast, secure, and better ways of communication, and researches are being done on it. But one thing we are losing and it is our natural qualities. We are replacing our outing (hangout) by chatting on messages. Instead of spending time with our friends and family we are spending time on internet. It seems that becoming addicted to social media and apps. We are now becoming more and more selfish. No time for our relatives but spare time for social media and apps. Instead of warm welcome to our school friend we just text him (hello, hi, how are you etc.). We are trying to communicate to our far away relatives but we are not giving importance to those. Who are really near and dear to us. We are indirectly making our life boring and tiresome. Don’t you really feel that internet has isolated us from the wonders of the world? We can’t see the paradise that we have in our house (Mom) and prefer to chat on internet to a friend. We don’t feel it right to spend some time with brother just because we feel we could make him a call.

“I think for any relation to be successful, there needs to be loving communication, appreciation, and understanding.”

(Miranda Kerr).

For a better relationship there should be good understanding and physically attention among people, while social media lack these things. The sites we are using on internet are affecting our focus and patience badly. Our focus on real things is deviating to conceptual and imagination. Due to internet we are living in the world of imagination. Our patience is also affected a lot. Whatever we want to see a new, old, funny, comedy, action films, dramas, serials and seasons are available just by one click. So we don’t react good if we don’t find the desired material. So our patience is affected badly. Due to internet we waste our time in studying irrelevant things. We waste time in learning those things which creates bad effects on our nature depression, illness, loneliness, isolation, anger is due to excess use of internet. Misuse of internet badly affects us. Sleeping cycle is also disturbed which is becoming the major cause of illness. We are not benefiting from natural sleeping cycle which is important for our lives. Sports and games are the good ways of keeping us active and healthy. But due to internet we have no time to paly cricket, football, hockey, and hundreds of such games which are best way to keep us active and increasing our communication skills and teaches us team work.

As these all games are now available on computer, so we prefer to play on computer. We don’t think how much sport is important to us. Sports and games play an important role in our everyday life. Life without sports is becoming dull and boring. We are losing the joys of life just because of staying away from games. Sport teaches us sportsmanship. We learn how to react if we won and how to react if we lose. We learn to trust to our team members, we learn how to show patience, sports increase our stamina but due to computer it seems that we are losing these benefits.

“I love sport because I love life and sport is one of the basic joys of life.” (Yevgeny Yevtushenko)

No doubt, computer has become a part of our everyday life. We have become the slaves of our inventions. Even a schoolchild, who is not aware of the basic needs of life, cannot imagine his life without computer and internet life. We should have a high maturity level to use deal with them. Time is the most important and precious gift of Allah Almighty and we should realize the importance of time, time is not a thing to waste in watching movies on internet or playing games on computer all the day. If we waste time, one-day time will waste us. The world is progressing so rapidly that without time management, we will not only left far behind but also, may jeopardize our survival. The initial purpose to create computer was to increase the communication and perform the tasks in short span of time but now a days it has also become the easiest way to waste time.

“Man is still the most extraordinary Computer of all.” (John F. Kennedy)

Social media has become an important part of our everyday life, the number of users of social media websites has increased up to 3 billion with major use of Facebook and WhatsApp. They are important source of spreading information but on the other hand, it is isolating us from our real life friends. The computer has isolated us from people and we can even say it is decreasing our communication skills up to certain extent.

It has also badly affected our behavior, we can learn words from computer but it does not teach us how to use, and where to use them. Sleeping cycle is also badly affected due to excessive use of Computer.

Smart work is the key to success there should be check and balance condition while using the computer because we created it to save time not to waste the time. We should prefer our friends and relatives to computer. As we know computer is very harmful for health so we should try to minimize its use. We should think and find different ways to communicate with the people.
