Today I want to briefly about a problem that is gradually becoming a norm in our society, "drop the phones and interact", the rate at which phones cintrols us is becoming alerming, we cannot interact with friends for 10 minutes without looking down the screen of our phones.
This is an anti-social behaviour of always facing down to our phones even when we have friends and companions around us, we tend to feel connected while in the actual sense we are actually disconnected from that which is real. It is high time we stop chasing shadows to be more human.

It is very painful when we give more attentions to gadgets than human beings. We should understand that a smiling face to a stranger could leave an impression that can last forever, leaving our phones in silent mode or placing them in the pocket or purses when meeting with companions for lunch gives space for consideration and companion to talk about and collaborate without our phones, this offers space to the coveted listening ear, warm and comfort.
Building up quality and sound human relationship, the sort that the African soul elevates, encourages one to open to oneself and to other against the withdrawal, selfishness and closeness realized by gadgets that we have allowed to control us.

The way we treat gadgets and the attentions we give to it and the quick pace with which its going, I have great fear that people probably are not aware of the progress its making, if nothing is done to curtail this influence, human being will eventually become nothing than just strolling PCs and machines.
The more we serve technological gadgets in our lives the more we additionally estrange ourselves from our true selves and from others. We tend to measure our self worth by the numbers of friends that we have on our friend lists while in reality we are friendless.
Only if we know that the gadgets we are enslaving ourselves for will abandon us in the fantasy that we are creating and going complex to the detriment of our mankind. In this way, this is a call to change our mindset.
This is a call to the mindfulness of who we genuinely are. We are to be experts, not slaves to technology since gadget was made for man and not man for gadgets.
