    Internet Kills Reality, technology affects humans, money causes evils, religion caste and creed separates all of us.....


    Internet Kills Reality

    Sit and press buttons, you are done.

    Don’t you ever feel "Internet is just killing reality"

    Schools >> online
    Shopping >> online
    Dating >> online
    Wedding >> online
    Business >> online
    Movies >> online
    Friends >> online
    Every damm thing online

    i have chosen computers and internet as my future, but I realize that whatever friends I have are virtual , and in true life they never have time

    Friends:
    This though is in my mind from long time
    i don’t know why but i feel as of now i hardly have any friends who would meet and spend time with me.

    friends staying at same apartment come online to talk , humans are getting so lazy that i feel in near future u wont have to even move from your place
    Even the friends who I knew from my college time have time but just online being in the same city and 30 minutes away!

    Well my net friends, being in same city they don’t wana meet me as if I am some devil or a don, even after knowing them from years, this might have happened with you too

    Laziness:
    Are humans gona become so lazy that they wont even bother about the surroundings.

    i really encourage and appreciate few threads here where they planned and executed to have a meet in real life. This should happen more regularly.

    Or future is gona lead us just pressing buttons and machines will kill the charm of this beautiful world.

    i read a thread here " pee in a bottle"

    Are we really so busy that you can’t reach the toilet

    Technology affects humans

    Health
    Few points on health >> The computer affects your eyes, your body, sitting in front of it for long hours is gona be a issue and I am sure every one here would agree to it.

    Hospitals, present doctors & medical advancements >> these never existed a 100 years back but people lived more then their current life span.

    Food & hygiene
    >> the food which we intake is never 100% pure, the milk man here adds 15% water in milk, quality of products no matter how good u prove them with tests , still they are not as good as they were before, why am i saying this that i have my own relative who is 100 + yrs old and they say the same. its not my personal feeling

    Technology and science has advanced still it’s in no position to get back what we had 100 years.

    Aruvedic medicines, natural herbs these are real medicines, but your doctor wouldn’t really suggest them.

    Money causes evils:
    The root cause of all evils is money, can u just think for once if there was no existence of money or exchange would there have been theft, why u see fraud, only reason money. i cannot think of anything else , existence of currency is the real cause of all evils, every one wants to be rich


    Religion caste and creed separates all of us

    When u were born on earth was it written anywhere on you that you belong to which religion caste or creed, is there any way u can find that , look at animals how happily they live, I have never seen animals bombing on each other or killing each other, there has been caste differences, but no one wants to think that they are humans at the end, you gona spend your time u have on earth and get outa here, which caste creed u belong to its never gona matter. bomb blasts, wars , terrorism , all waste

    Earth is being polluted completely, I don’t know if god exist or not, but if he do then he would be very disappointed, to create humans, he wont have though that humans would some day be like this.


    Can any one really point out on these topics, can we do something to make things better or we are still to see more worst things?
    1 Internet Kills Reality
    2 Technology affects humans
    3 Money causes evils,
    4 Religion caste and creed separates all of us
    5 Online friends

    Also I would suggest more meets offline

    I have written many topics in one thread, I would like to know is that’s fine or I need to separate the threads (for mods, admins)
    Note: I have no offence for anyone, its just I am notifying the facts, I am unsure there would be any doctors here, but I really hate modern medicines. I would prefer more of natural, but I confess that even I have to eat them.

    your absolutely right, the internet does all those things to us and yet we still use it because we're addicted.... information superhighway

    the outdoors have been a little less crowded since the internet was invented and became popular.... this coming from swomeon who lives in downtown Los Angeles, lol

    its true, this virtual world gives pain sometimes, when everything is virtual and element of reality is far away.

    When you were talking about animals how they live happily, it reminds me a story i read during my graduation, "The Damned Human Race" by Mark Twain who was favoring animals and criticised how bad man who is always looking to take revenge, kill other men for money, land, food etc...

    no doubt, there are certaing advantages of internet world and electronic communications, but at the same time we are getting very lazy and going far away from the nature :(

    To the Poster of the thread: Great thread dude

    Although, on topic, Internet is not killing reality, it is giving it a new portal, Internet makes life easier for people. WE are the people who are involved in Internet Businesses, so we have to give our life to this profession, but the general end user comes online 1-2 hours a day, shops for what he wants and closes the computer. Internet makes you money, what do you need?

    I have travelled thousands of kilometers to meet my online friends, people like me still exist :) But yeah I still agree with your post

    It's all about how you choose to use money and technology and where you spend your time online. Yes, you can squander your time and money on things that don't help anyone, but you can also be a good steward of your money.

    Any ways I am talking facts here, not my own created things, this is what is happening,
    As coolweb pointed out animals are living a peaceful life then humans
    ive never seen animal communities fighting like we humans do, wats the reason for all of these
    its money

    Everything that happens has a reason , currency is the root cause, why does this happen
    this greed has no ends.

    every one at the end of the day aims and profits and money, but have u really counted the costs of wars and creating nuclear weapons, this money could have been used in betterment of the environment and create a healthy atmosphere for everyone living.

    why is there no unity, well earth is not alone in this solar system, if u can explore other planets u can get here enough resource tht everyone on earth could be rich

    I agree totally. We are slowly cutting out ourself from the reality. Friends no longer sit together and talk. they meet on messengers!!! they don't talk with each other sitting next to each other.. they use skype.. so where are we heading ?? one day we are going to get lost into this deep deep internet!

    ,..:: peace ::..

    Alright, it's about time I posted here. I am "Ravi" that forumrating is referring to, and I did meet Correctus but it was a very hurried meeting and there was really no time for socializing.

    forumrating, it was inappropriate of you to yell "stfu kid" in a public forum, considering all other things. No one is blaming you, certainly not me, take it easy.

    Internet kills reality on some parts, it`s true

    About friends, i can`t tell if i have more virtual friends that real ones.

    Laziness, this is the first thing that came in my mind where i saw the title of this thread. through Internet i can get everything with just some clicks or key presses, so i become more and more lazy. The internet makes us be more addicted to it day by day, but we should fight this and at least go for a beer with real friends, make some sport, travel and talk live ( no, not on live messenger :) )

    Health - i already have problems with my eyes, because i`m using the computer daily since i was 7 and now, after 10 years i`m a myopic, but i`m a bit myopic.

    About food, it`s not natural, but nothing that surrounds us is natural and everything causes our death come sooner.

    Religion - I`m an atheist so i can`t comment. I`m glad that people are starting to release themselves from the religion`s slavery.

    Online friends - i have already talked about that

    Your arguments are logical and well put, but I have a different perspective.
    I feel the Internet draws out the qualities and characteristics that are already there in us.

    Lazy guys were couch potatoes watching TV before the net became popular.
    Many still are.

    Introverted friends were pen pals before the net was invented. Magazines and papers had special columns for them. Now who talks about pen pals?

    Health-> Those who are disciplined, exercise. Those who are not, find excuses. If it isnt the net, it is something else.

    Internet has brought a lot of changes, but it has not changed human nature.

    I agree that internet has helped in communication and business to come closer and move quick, postal letters would take lot of time, it has made messages reach in seconds, though now if some one sends you a letter you would appreciate that, coz it would be rare.

    But at the same time it has also killed the importance of meeting personally and talking, discussing. Addiction is so common that you are always glued to the pc, and this is causing real health issues as said by sandossu.

    Also gym I been doing but what about eyes, 10 hrs a day on pc, I am sure it affects your eyes,

    Spending long hours in front of the pc causes health problems

    Spending long hours in front of the tv causes health problems

    Spending long hours with your walkman headphones on your ears causes health problems

    But...

    Are these problems due to these gadgets?

    These issues have been raised whenever there has been a significant scientific innovation.

    The internet is unavoidable. But it all depends on how you use it. It can make you lazy, but also more efficient :)

    i don`t think it`s because of this gadgets, it because you use your eyes/years too much and you don`t use your legs, you sit too much in the bet/on tte chair
