Mobile Phone a boon or a bane!
MOBILE PHONES A BOON OR A BANE! By Syed Belal Ahmed
“THERE IS NOTHING GOOD OR BAD, BUT THINKING MADE IT SO”
I think I don’t waste my words to count its benefits we already know that but I have to say some of then i.e. Mobile phone these days are a state of art .The world become global village nothing is far from us. Because of mobile phone. People can easily connect each other all around the world. It’s not enough to count the advantage of mobile phone. If a child of 5 to 6 years easily explain its benefit .
But my main purpose of writing this article to ensure its disadvantages
I want to start my explanation through this "Access of Anything is dangerous “
Using mobile phone for a long time or for every single think make our mind weak .we know that we have to train our mind for everything at this time we can’t gave pressure on our mind if any questions any number is there to remember or kept in mind we simply don’t force or mind to remember a single OTP which come through message in our mobile we simply copy that OTP and paste it that’s all yes its minimize or time but it also making our mind weaker. Five years before my mother requesting my sister to write our relative contact number on diary that she can remember that no. and she also remember all of them .But today we simply save all number. in our contact we haven’t remember a single contact number in our mobile phone. I am giving this type of my personal experience that people can understand. The summary is that we can’t give pressure at our mind even for a single thing we just simply think or say I will search, I will find, I will watch on Google, YouTube it can also make a communication gap between teacher and student. Rather ask to teacher or faculty.
On the other hand, using mobile phone for a long time make the user get addicted to it .According to a research average screen time after the covid -19 pandemic increase to 7 hours in a day.
I think it’s become a strong addiction just like Smoking, Alcohol after listening this it feels weird but both addictions have same. But the issue is that very few people know about this addiction.
I used Google to know the science and reason behind this thing
I found that in simply our body follow a pattern called “Dopamine pattern”.
Simply dopamine is neurotransmitter produced in brain simply its transfer message from one place to another in human brain (act as a signal)
According to research we are happy because of Endorphins hormone, Endorphins work as a happiness booster .Dopamine is actually belongs to motivation our reward.
When our mind find something happen like partake in activity, when we win as a dopamine level increases its good for our body but not too much.
It’s get problematic when we received the reward and our brain reduce the dopamine transmission and the same thing get repeat this can’t gave same type of pleasure or happiness.
That’s we fall bore. Basically for a rich man it’s a normal thing for him to eat in 5 star hotels but for us guys it’s not just normal we excited too much for this. This is due to hormone
Now the point is that same thing applicable for smoker when he smoke first time he got a kick but after some time the amount of hormone released not work on that man at a time he needs more hormone he drank alcohol and many more.
Same type of thing happen on social media when we see a notification on screen our mind expect a reward and dopamine released e.g. someone like our photos, comment on our photo we get instant reward.
But slowly excitements decreases only 10 likes only 20 comments, 2 messages, only 10 friends request and we start falling into pit.
The main two reason we got addicted
1. Ease Of Access.
2. Speedy Reward.
You watched video on social media ,Instagram ,YouTube it have higher ease of access and speedy reward our mind release a lot of hormone .
Suppose you want to read a book it’s need patience, someone is preparing for competitive exam he knows the result but it takes time to get reward in this condition we can’t get ease of access.
Basically all social media handle companies; their business model is to keep people engaged on the screen they want as much of this person attention.
This is a new type of business or marketplace that never existed before and they only trade with human futures us.
What people do everything on internet they have been watched every single action we take is monitored carefully and recorded.
What image you stop and look at for how long you look at it seriously.
They know very well when you feel sad, lonely.
What you are doing late at night they know entire thing,I am introvert or extrovert, what type of our personality type is like basically you can clearly understand by this example if you open YouTube on your mobile the dashboard on your mobile simply explain everything about you what video you like what type of video you watched all are belongs to your interest but when you open a another YouTube you simply understand everything what type of music he/she is listening …..
“THEY BASICLY DEAL WITH OUR DATA’’
When bicycle are invented no one get upset .Everyone starts to go and use bicycle.
No one told its ruins our society or
Bicycle is affecting people health it is pulling children from their parents.
People can’t tell such type of things on cycle or other good thing.
Basically Instrument are of two type is now a days
1. Who is waiting eagerly for you to use it?
2. Something its demanding thing from you
It’s not a instrument which demand things from us it’s only manipulate you. It wants thing from you. It was totally changed.
Social media isn’t a tool that just waiting to be used it has its own goals, means of pursuing them by using our PSYCHOLOGY against us.
SOCIAL MEDIA IS A DRUG I.e. Released of dopamine in reward pathway.
I want to share an incident
Our father used to save our younger brother and sister when they are watching Saturday cartoon he cared about that they can’t watched some type of unsuitable advertisement and also our brothers fell shy when this type of thing come randomly on TV.
But now, YouTube eat entire portion of this thing all rules and regulations are gone you watched anything you want.
We human beings got adopted time to time I am also thinking only we faced this type of issue our coming generation can’t face they got adopted even we learn how to leaves with this devices just like other invention but this is something different new its driven by technology that’s advancing to much day by day.
It’s most importantly or human our psychology our brain have evolved not at all. When we got adopted something new is come there.
Only one thing I want to say that
“WE ARE LOOSING THIS SILENT WAR”
