Today is the age of technology. Machines have made man idle. The work of days has started to be done in hours and the work of hours in minutes. Human life has become faster and more comfortable than before. But! Despite all this, today’s man has lost his peace of mind. If we look at the current state of the society, it seems that where the present day man has broken away from his roots, there is also a large number of victims of mental diseases . The root cause of this is the disappearance of tender senses from man/ man becoming a ‘machine’. Well !
Certainly, the advent of social media has exposed the intellectual level of people to the whole world. People today of course! Read and write but! In terms of character, understanding and behavior, they can be called absolutely Fadi. Sociability seems to have disappeared from man. In the name of privacy, man has become a victim of loneliness. Joint families are a thing of the past.
People (especially us Punjabis) can’t digest anything free or let’s say they don’t use it. First of all, they (Punjabi people) don’t take anything they get for free or they use it so much that they start abusing it . In today’s era, social media can be said to be a living example of this.
The common saying is; If a monkey gets a mole in his hand, he will burn the settlements of the city/towns to ashes. This is what has happened to us people. They have the matchstick of social media in their hands, they have to burn the society to ashes.
Today it seems that everyone has become an artist/journalist using social media. Every day, thousands of posts and videos are uploaded on the internet, which have no meaning . In which there is no such thing as ‘art’. There is no meaningful message in these posts and videos . But! Punjabis have made this extra work an important part of their life. This indeed! It is very unfortunate and shameful.
Today; What is the child and what is old? They can be seen wasting their precious time on mobile phones for hours. Yes; In terms of studies and education, the use of Internet and social media can be said to be beneficial, but! It is not wise to waste the precious time of your life due to unnecessary activities . Well !
The market of rumors often gets heated due to social media. People start commenting and commenting without investigating. Due to this, sometimes the atmosphere of the city, state and the country deteriorates. That is why, in the case of riots or communal violence, governments first ban the Internet so that rumors can be controlled and mischievous elements cannot succeed in their plans.
Today, posts and videos of fools, fools and idiots are seen and promoted the most on social media. These ‘Kamles’ have become role-models for our children. Today, children do not know the names of the ten Gurus, but! There is complete information about the film actors. Well! This happened to the common people . But now educated and wise people are not left behind .
A few days ago a video went viral. An animal has a broken leg. He is sitting on the side of the road. A ‘wise man’ wrote; “Write (religious word) in the comment so that the pain of this ‘thought’ will be reduced!” Now that brave man wanted to treat the injured animal. But how can the pain of that animal be reduced by posting a video on social media?
A viral video on social media is from China or Japan. There is talk of new technology. But our people are getting away from God by editing religious (songs). The people of China and Japan may not even be aware that they are using a ‘divine decree’.
Recently, a video of a mosque (named Al Nabwi) mosque located in Saudi Arabia went viral. In fact, the roof of this mosque opens, it is not the effect of any charisma, miracle or prophetic power but the work of artisans. There is a bridge in England; called ‘London Bridge’; That too opens up. This is not the result of a divine miracle but the result of human effort. But! Our people have left no stone unturned to thank the ‘Agami Shakti’ by editing videos on religious songs .
Every day in India hundreds of videos of such hypocritical Babas are going viral who are fooling the common people by performing so-called miracles. People also share such videos in a frenzy. On the other hand, the surprise and limitation is when no one listens to the scholarly articles, lectures, videos and other useful ideas. Then where does wisdom come from? Then only fools have to influence our minds and we have to become fools.
Based on the discussion above, it cannot be said that social media is really bad . But! mindless, indiscriminate forwarding of posts and videos; Being a party to rumours; It is pure stupidity and nothing else.
First the post or video should be authenticated and then forwarded. Secondly, one should only watch posts, articles, lectures or videos of hard working people which have some guidance, education. Don’t let any ‘Lallu’ influence your and your children’s minds. Do your part in creating a better society through the use of social media. But when does it happen? It is still in the womb of the future.
