Our life has been completely changed and surrounded by technological innovations – revolutionizing the way we breathe, live, work or educate ourselves. The most impact has been on our way of communication and technology has changed the way we socialize. The innovation of AI and its evolving way of smartening our lives is something to ponder about because even though it has got some serious benefits, it has got equally serious demerits. There have been web series made on how the changing and evolving nature of AI can turn our worlds into some dystopian consent and yet we do not shy away from diving deep into it. We are living a mental health epidemic with a majority of the population either suffering from chronic depression or constant anxiety attacks.
With that tiny device in our hands, we no longer have to wonder about what is going on around the world because we are updated almost 24×7. We are informed right then and there when something good happens and when something bad happens. This hyper-connectivity with the world is doing more harm than good. We have already established the bad side of social media by now but with each new day, we face we have at least four new apps or websites to socialize and show ourselves or just check others. The constant update of someone’s life or the constant need for someone’s approval is definitely adding to this mental health epidemic that we are going through. We all are in the pursuit of happiness. We are celebrating World Happiness Day on the 20th of March every year since 2012 and it does sound a little weird as to how one decides how the world will be happy on that particular day. Well, a report is published every year to check on the happiness score and the latest report that is the World Happiness Report 2021 shows us a score that is very shocking and surprising. The pandemic and the sudden call for physical distancing have indeed impacted mental health by a noticeable score. How does it matter that we were physically distancing, we all were connected technologically. No?
