The real detox needed!

      Are you on a detox? What is the purpose? Is it to become healthy? If yes, we are only half way through. The future demands for a wide variety of detoxes.

    Fast forward yourself to 2050. As I visualize it, we might be living either of these 2 lives - one with full of robots that are dominating the humans and other we realized that machines are the real danger opting for a greener life. If you are in my shoes, visualizing along with me and choose the former, then believe me we need detox of more than just health in mind.

    We need a detox of these e-gagdets, plastic in our environment, debris that we are generating in space and thoughts in the mind. Education system today is still leading to stuffing of mind. We need a change here too. Isn't the irony of the system such that we need freedom to create and unfortunately we are trying to create freedom of conformity. 

    The time has come when we need a technological detox as well. Our reduction in the attention span is the true judge of this. Our ability to focus is deteriorating. We are happy to read short articles (news articles today is nor more than 60 words - Inshorts for example), view videos of 2-3 mins maximum (tik tok, moj to quote). This in effect is leading to shorter memory span and attention spans. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution will come into effect leading to a permanent disability in human capability.

   Wasn't the world a better place by itself? Our nature of creative destruction is leading to a mess. It is, we, humans that need a real detox and its just not the health. 

        Hope to see a greener, brighter and better future. Let the mankind learn to live with the nature rather than dominating it.
