Friends
Technological advancement of last 3 decades have changed the life economically, socially and personally. We people of sixties have experienced the thick social fabric when family was full of Chachas, Taus, Dada, Dadi, Bua, mama, mausi and so on…it was the time when every elder had authority to scold or fire or abuse. And we would just bow our head as a respect. The joint families with large number of members were common with strong binding . Any marriage or function in a family was on priority and well attended. Things were quite simple and easy. Every responsibility was family responsibility . The situation stared deteriorating in eighties and escalated in nineties. Post 2000, technology took over the emotions , life styles, way of doing business , education, family structure and social responsibilities. In last 10-15 years, the families have shrunk almost every where, every responsibility is yours only , relations are shrinking- now bua or mausi have become rare and optional. Now social functions have become big challenges. We have become so possessive about the kids that no one can dare to scold them. Now getting annoyed means the end of relations for ever. Neither we care for others nor do others. Education and income have taken top priority slot than anything else including our nears and dears. Technology has virtually tore the social fabric in our society. Now we don’t cry if some one leaves us but we cry if some one comes to us. We have gone far away from our own culture and values. We feel happy to criticise others, their ancestors, down others to any extent. We are happier to see others in trouble. Now if we dont agree with others’ views, he is our enemy . We can not live with people of rival views. . No doubt technology has changed life for good, it has come with equal destruction too .
Technological development has damaged the social fabric badly. We have lot emotions, brotherhood, joint living and so on. Yeh kaha aa gaye hum log.
