LOH # 123 || REAL CONNECTIONS 📱📱


Real connections.gif



Pese a todos los avances tecnológicos y a todas las alternativas innovadoras que van surgiendo para mantenernos conectados, comunicados e informados; aún se sigue hablando de soledad.

Parece muy contradictorio que alguien pueda experimentar sentimientos de soledad, cuando tiene a la mano un smartphone que le permite comunicarse con cualquier persona en cualquier parte del mundo, incluso la calidad de las videollamadas y los chats en línea es cada vez mejor, así que no debería existir motivos para sentirnos solos.

No obstante, la realidad es que cada vez hay más personas sintiéndose solas, porque la comunicación interpersonal verdadera se ha perdido precisamente por el excesivo uso de dispositivos electrónicos, permitiendo que estos sustituyan las verdaderas relaciones.

Despite all the technological advances and all the innovative alternatives that are emerging to keep us connected, communicated and informed; there is still talk of loneliness.

It seems very contradictory that someone can experience feelings of loneliness, when they have at hand a smartphone that allows them to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, even the quality of video calls and online chats is getting better and better, so there should be no reason to feel lonely.

However, the reality is that there are more and more people feeling lonely, because true interpersonal communication has been lost precisely because of the excessive use of electronic devices, allowing them to replace real relationships.

¿Cuántos de nosotros hemos dejado de salir a tomar un café con los amigos, porque preferimos quedarnos en casa mirando lo que hay en las redes sociales? Hemos sustituido los abrazos por emoticones y stickers y no estamos siendo lo verdaderamente sincero al expresar nuestras emociones porque las escondemos detrás de estos emojis.

Es posible enterrarnos de casos de personas populares con miles de seguidores en Instagram sufriendo de depresión o ansiedad, entonces nos preguntamos: ¿cómo es esto posible?.

How many of us have stopped going out for coffee with friends because we prefer to stay at home looking at what's on social networks? We have replaced hugs with emoticons and stickers and we are not being the truly sincere in expressing our emotions because we hide them behind these emojis. It is possible to bury us of cases of popular people with thousands of followers on Instagram suffering from depression or anxiety, then we ask ourselves: how is this possible.

Todo esto sucede porque la mayoría de las relaciones de amistad, o de cualquier otra índole, que surgen y se alimentan principalmente por medio de dispositivos electrónicos y redes sociales populares, no son verdaderamente relaciones auténticas. ¿Cómo podemos saber si la persona con la que interactuamos siente real empatía por lo que nos sucede?.
All this happens because most of the friendship relationships, or any other kind, that arise and are nurtured mainly through electronic devices and popular social networks, are not truly authentic relationships. How can we know if the person we are interacting with has real empathy for what is happening to us.

Sin embargo, la tecnología sigue su curso arrollador y ahora nos trae la fantástica y maravillosa Inteligencia Artificial, que si bien es cierto que resulta muy útil para realizar algunas actividades, también es verdad que representa un desafío mayor para esta sociedad que se aleja cada vez más de las relaciones cara a cara.
Ya hay muchas personas hablando de las bondades de la Inteligencia artificial y de cómo se puede sostener una interesante conversación con estas plataformas. Yo soy de las que ama la tecnología y siempre he pensado que debemos usarla a nuestro favor y para nuestro beneficio; la tecnología en sí no es el problema de base, el problema está en cómo y cuándo la usamos. Si dejamos que nos arrope toda esta nueva ola de conexiones virtuales y olvidamos como establecer conexiones reales con nosotros mismos, con Dios y con las personas que nos rodean.
However, technology continues its sweeping course and now brings us the fantastic and wonderful Artificial Intelligence, which although it is true that it is very useful to perform some activities, it is also true that it represents a major challenge for this society that is increasingly moving away from face-to-face relationships. There are already many people talking about the benefits of Artificial Intelligence and how you can have an interesting conversation with these platforms. I am one of those who loves technology and I have always thought that we should use it to our advantage and for our benefit; the technology itself is not the basic problem, the problem lies in how and when we use it. If we let all this new wave of virtual connections wash over us and we forget how to establish real connections with ourselves, with God and with the people around us.

Real connections is still possible even with the way technology has advanced today. I also understand the fact many people no longer pay attention to face to face relationship all because of tech. Overall,one shouldn't be found lonely, connecting with people with virtually or physically can relieve one from even depression

Hola amiga, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, hoy en día la tecnología, se ha apoderado de gran parte de nuestras vidas, creo que se ha perdido el equilibrio, como tu dices, la mayoria no saben usar las redes, sino dejan que estas no usen, y peo aún, nos separan de la realidad. Excelente post, saludos.

Lamentablemente esa es la realidad de las nuevas generaciones, la mayoría de sus amistades son amistades virtuales, en realidad no creo que esté del todo mal ya que nosotros acá en Hive también encontramos amigos virtuales, sin embargo, no debemos sustituir la comunicación cara a cara por las conversaciones netamente virtuales.
Gracias por pasar y dejar tu gran aporte al tema.
Saludos y bendiciones.

The world has advanced and relationships are built faster on social media, but what makes a relationship deeper is when they get to meet physically and make sacrifices for each other. Many people are too used to making friends on social media and forget the importance of having time for each other physically.

Yes, I totally agree with you, nowadays young people prefer to interact by social net app than talking face to face. We should not forget the real relationships. Thanks for your opinions.

You made a focus on technology and how it's improvement is making real connections go on exile in the human world... Too bad.

We really need to step up and get rid of this situation somehow... Technology will always be there but we might lose our dear ones when we spend too much time on technology alone.

Well written, thanks for joining in

We have replaced hugs with emoticons and stickers and we are not being the truly sincere in expressing our emotions because we hide them behind these emojis.

This speaks the truth. And whilst some build real connections through the use of technology, most are quite superficial.
