The Philosopher in our university previously had an interview with a local newspaper group. He said: the electronic devices are killing our generation. (哲人指路 樹思考路標)
Yes. It is smothering us. Whatever you want, you just have to touch the screen, something will come out from it and satisfy you. You can listen to the music when you plug in your earphone, which makes you completely live in your own world without recognizing the outside. You can play the games if you want to, and as a result, you become a hero or the best car racer when you want to. You were looking for some news coming from the Facebook? You will have an instant notification. You thought that everything is under your control.
It is not just the electronic devices. How about shopping? In the past, we need to really shopping (that's why we add -ing as a suffix) in a shop to get the things. Now, we just, again, have one click on the button. They will send the commodities to our living place.
We can easily get what we what. We thought we control our lives better than anyone else in the past. Do you think that William Shakespeare could get a pad for his writing? Do you think that Picasso can have everything he wanted when he lived? Probably not, huh?
In this sense, we might be right. We can at least temporarily satisfy our want.
Except that we could not control our desire in the long run. I could not imagine how we feed this beast in our hearts these years. What have we used to feed this beast? Perhaps we have spent many lives for it.
