“Men, Women& Children” – we need to get back to the real world

 

The movie “Men Women& Children” released this month is about  the effect of the internet on relationships. According to the interview with actor Jennifer Garner, we know that she herself likes to hold the phone all the time as many people always do.

Nowadays, it is undeniable that internet does revolutionise the way we live. It facilitates the way we contact our beloved one. It also makes it easier for us to get new friends. We are typing when we have lunch with our parents or have a conversation with others. We know what our friends are doing at this moment through their posts. It seems the distance between people is decreasing while we keep our eyes glued on the screens of our mobile phone.

However, the truth is, we are steadily isolated from the real world. We feel lonelier and lonelier. Our friends and parents around us also share the same feelings as we focus more on our internet social network rather than the real ones. In this case, figuring out an internet policy in a family cannot be more important.  Starting it from a family and letting the children know that the real ones around them should be cherished. only under the parents’ guidance can  the new generations critically think about how to appropriately use social networking websites and softwares.
