Can’t understand what I am talking about ?
Let me take one step further and explain…..
In the olden days before the popularity of blogs and articles published on the internets and chat room discussions …
When we had a problem .. anything under the sun.. personal, medical, parenting, children issues whom did we consult ???
Yup we went to the elders in the family .. needn’t be just our parents .. It could be out grand parents .. great grandparents … Grandpa uncle .. blah blah .. the relations in India go endless … we even talk to our neighbors and often our entire community to help us with a problem … WE USED TO OPEN OUR-SELF UP AND TALK TO OTHERS TO FIND A SOLUTION… and it would be off the simplest matters
The simplest remedy to get rid of a cold …
Problems arising with having an infant (sickness, well being, food)
Do’s and Don’t of a pregnant women
Problems in the family
Health related issues
Etc Etc…
Once upon time we used to talk these issues with the elders and find simple remedies for all of these ..
Now we log on to google .. type our question and find an answer …
We are all very social on the internet .. we know what our buddies and facebook friends in US / Australia are doing .. however we don’t know who our next door neighbors are ….
Sad state of affairs is when most parents don’t even know what their kids are upto .. if the kids have a problem they most likely search the internet for a solution than talk to anyone else ..
You have a headache you probably won’t go to the doctor …you’ll surf the net find the medicine you need and the buy it off the shelf .. not knowing the headache was the way your body tells you that something major is about to start
There are tons of yoga instructors in town .. however we surf the internet to do yoga … not knowing the exact posture and breathing techniques associated with it and then ending up with a strain
We believe the internet has solutions to all our questions and queries and we forget that our parents and grandparents (who in most likely went through the same state we are in right now ) could have helped us better
Can we take it that 100% of the information mentioned on the internet is true ??
Now we are more shy to talk about our problems when information about everything is available sooo freely to answer all our questions without anyone judging us ..
With the age of information highway so readily available in everyones homes now … have we lost our relations ? even the basic ones ?
