Do you think virtuality and technology have made your life easier??

---

Yes, Virtuality and Technology have made my life easier. Our everyday tasks became simpler, more accurate, and more efficient as a result of these two factors. Virtuality and Technology have a lot of significance in our life. I am including some points below that have made things easier for me as a result of these two modern factors.

• Nowadays, virtual platforms are the most convenient and efficient way to communicate with people all over the world. I no longer have to travel long distances to meet anyone. I can communicate with my friends or make video calls with them using Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or Instagram.

• Modern technology has made our transportation system more dynamic. An airplane, metro train, bus or a motorbike can transport me over long distances in a matter of few minutes.

• I will not have to spend a boring rainy day at home. Though I am unable to go outside on a rainy day, I can keep myself entertained by playing virtual games or watching movies online.

Apart from the points mentioned above, Virtuality and Technology helps me in many ways.

Which would you feel comfortable choosing between virtuality and reality?

Virtuality and reality have certain comforts and discomforts. I think it depends on personal preference. I can mention a friend of mine as an example.

A friend of mine still uses a button phone instead of a smartphone and does not have a virtual ID. He only communicates with his friends via the mobile phone's audio call option.

On the other hand, smartphones and virtual media are my constant companions. The way I can express my feelings in the virtual world, sometimes I can't express my feelings in the real world.

Again, spending too much time in the virtual world is not recommended. That's why I occasionally travel with friends or participate in sports.

There is a lot of comfort and discomfort in both the worlds of virtuality and reality. The focus should be on keeping the discomforts from affecting the areas of comfort. But which one makes me feel comfortable that depends on my state of mind and situation.

Both virtuality and reality are important to us. So it is almost impossible to decide between the two. So I think that these two factors should be in balance in my life so that I feel comfort.

After all the advantages of technology, have you ever felt that you are getting addicted to excessive virtuality??

Yes, I often feel that way. I have been very addicted to social media and youtube or instagram reels for quite some time now. Once you start watching reels on YouTube or Instagram, you never know when the hours will fly by.

This results in a lot of wasted time that I could have spent on learning or spending quality time with my family. In today's world, we are all addicted to smartphones. Using a mobile device while conversing with friends or family is a bad habit.

Due to the addiction we do not interact properly with our family or friends. Too much virtual addiction doesn't improve our relationships or real life responsibilities.
