Our editor in chief of Fame Baranskii wrote the book "Doubt"Which dealt ruthlessly with pink glasses that are worn by people immersed in tightly virtual world. Ask and you yourself these seven questions.
At what point in the phones, something went wrong?
With the invention, a mobile phone, much has changed - especially at a time when we have to go with smartphones and take them with you to work, on a walk, to bed and to the toilet.
Admit it, you have thoughts that went with phones that something is wrong? That we have gone too far and completely changed the way of life for the sake of a strange idea to be always connected?
Whether social networks have something in common with real life?
Certainly, if you have a phone installed Facebook applications, "VKontakte», Twitter or Instagram, you start the morning with a view news feeds.
That's just all the information it has nothing to do with real life, nothing you can not teach and will not improve your life, and by passing these messages, you really do not miss anything.
What makes you think that a guy who will post your picture of fashionable office in the "Moscow City", you successful?
Think about life.
About this.
One that begins with the fact that the person wakes up hard winter morning, when still dark, and goes to the toilet. Then he eats some not very tasty and not at all healthy food. Standing in traffic jams. Then, the office and tasteless coffee in it. Then endless meetings. House - Shabby apartment on the outskirts of the city with smacks elevator. Semi-finished dinner - and sleep. Tomorrow the same things over and over again.

Remember, you've seen the records though about something similar from your friends on the social networks Facebook, «VKontakte», Twitter, and even more so in Instagram? Nobody talks to social networks about adultery, about scolding from the boss or about the fact that wages are not paid for the second month.
Why, who has more likes, and the cooler?
You were, for example, to Asia and see the stunning colorful sunset. Of course, you'll want to take a picture of "friends." But its beauty you can not realize without having to not collect a record number of likes in Instagram or Facebook. Collected 100 likes - awesome sunset! No likes - it's not the best sunset. But it's up to you, but to those who for days on end staring at the monitor. You can see a fragment of the grand, planetary, a unique event, which lasts for a matter of minutes, but your eyes are on the phone - you are busy processing this sunset seen seconds. A sunset is over. Many gathered likes?
What do I know about the real events in the world?
Instead of noticing the good, to change the real world around us, we are focusing our efforts "friends" on the negative. Daily spending time on social networks, we take on the flow of information in the most depressive form. No one shares the news of the launch of 100 new buses, but all share the fact that stole $ 10 million in the course of their acquisition. Journalists (and so arranged their work, and to judge them stupid) choose the most trashy information events and dumped them on us: Mother with baby carriage drove into the woods and left her there; Students killed his grandmother and her apartment had smoked marijuana a class... And we, in turn, share the worst of them. As a result, the picture of the world in our head so that you just want to strangle.
"Tell me who your friends are ...," or whom would you have entrusted to store your picture in the nude?

There is a special test "naked pictures». It lies in the fact that a person is invited to call the people to whom he would trust to store their photos in the costume of Adam (or Eve). A quarter of the respondents usually can not name a single such person.
Over the past 20-30 years, with a violent development of technology and improvement of the general standard of living, the number of people trusted each tends to zero. And before them, each man had a few!
"And I do not accidentally slektivist?"
Slektivistami call people who are making the virtual rather than real actions in response to events. Do not substitute response to the shocking events have instant census. It is better to think about what else you can do except click Like or Retweet Button.
First embark on something and understand what is happening, and then push Like. Do not skip on headers. Do not try to understand everything about everything and be an expert in everything. As a result, you will remain by anyone in any subject, which touch a.
Let us live longer, see more, think more broadly, to run faster, go deeper, brighter love, spending every minute only given us Veselennoy life that really need us, our body, mind and heart.
