Illusionary World

 Do we live under an Illusion today?????

Today, everyone feels they know everything and form an opinion about everything.
Courtesy social media.
We all are so confident about everything even if that knowledge maybe shallow or false.
WhatsApp University is churning out students with shallow knowledge but Confidence Levels touching the skies.
Everyone of us from a school going ,never even stepped out into real world to a Geriatric who has stopped reading and become homebound....every person forms opinion strong to advise others on any topic under sun.

A student advises the Teacher on how to handle the class and impart knowledge .

A Patient tells the Doctor about the diagnosis and treatment he / she feels must be done by the Treating Professional.

The Army is asked to justify why an Operation Sindoor was carried and show the credibility of the Operation.

The Group of Retired Geriatrics heatedly discuss during their regular morning walks on how the nation must be run or how the Indian Cricket Team should play to win the World Cup.

Coffee Table Talks are now becoming Podcasts on Social platforms. They garner highest viewerships and influence society and thought process of the citizens in the country.

In this Illusionary world, every thing is an illusion.
Very much Influential.

How much to actually allow ourselves,our minds and our outlook to be influenced by Social media platforms?
To what extent must opinions be controlled by Social media platforms so much that we forget to verify the authenticity of what our eyes see and ears hear?

The Misguided Young and Parents.

Today,nobody reads books to gain knowledge.
Knowledge and Information is attained,acquired Digitally through Apps.

Parenting is learnt from special social media sites and Podcasts.

The small child is handed a mobile phone right before it understands what's around him/ her. The education is given to every child digitally from a screen placed in front

.
In due course of time,the child trusts only what he/ she reads and watches on the screen.

Social Media misguides both Parent and Child.

Trust Factor.
No longer do we ,today,trust one another.
Not even our Parents nor our Teachers.
Patient doesn't trust Doctor and vice versa.

But all of us believe everything we see on Social media even though the information is  incomplete and even fake AI generated .

Manipulative Media.
WhatsApp University is easily accessible and available on everyone 's mobile phone.
It's now become very easy to influence and manipulate  innocent minds of society especially the Youth of today who are citizens of tomorrow.

The Society today is controlled by Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence.
They make life and living comfortable and easy.
Many aspects of life become easily available and accessible.

But,both advances of Modern Technology are also being utilized for spreading Distrust, Unrest and Chaos in public minds.
Vested interests use it to manipulate and defocus young minds.

Are we living in an Illusionary World created around us by Technology????

If yes,then ,how do we come out of this Matrix?????
