My Solution
The solution I propose is that we disconnect from the online word for a certain amount of time. The reason I propose this is so we get out and go socialize with those around us instead of everyone practically ignoring everyone around them everywhere they go especially the people that are part of today’s generation who are consumed by technology. Besides reconnecting with the world and its people ,my solution can also better the health of yourself and others around you. According to the Cambridge Handbook of Personal Relationship under loneliness and social isolation ” Loneliness is associated with a variety of measures of physical health. Those who are in poor health, whether this is measured objectively or subjectively, tend to report higher levels of loneliness.” In another words the more human interaction we have the more healthier our physical and mental health will be.
The reason I choose this was because it give the idea that if you unplug it helps fix other things and yourself .
In the article Loneliness and Social Isolation by Christina L. Lyons shares “that psychologists, social workers, medical practitioners and policymakers should treat loneliness and isolation with the same urgency as drug abuse or other major social ills.” Which is not totally wrong because if we did treat loneliness like a real illness would cause people to start logging off their phones or whatever they are using and state to spend more time outside with their family , friend , and future friends. Hari interviewed Hilarie for his book lost connections and she stated that “at first ,’I was mostly going by instinct,’ … there was no rule book for this. Now, when she looks back on those first patients, she said ‘I feel like I was seeing the trickle before the flood. And this flood is becoming a tsunami.'” In light of this it’s easier to show how even doctor does not always know how to fix a problem but when they start to have a better understanding of a problem it is easier for them to see the signs of each specific problem. In this case the problem is the overuse of technology.
It’s Better Together Than Going It Alone
