People are no longer able to spend time apart from technology and the opportunities it brings. The small phones they carry in their pockets are now like a heart to them. They waste most of their day on social media. When they are sick, they look on the internet, when they are hungry, they order from their phones, they use uncertain information on the internet to find out, they portray themselves as someone they are not, and they humiliate those who are not like them. Their phones, which they use to escape from real life and distract themselves a bit, have now become their real life. People’s social interactions are decreasing day by day, they are not able to concentrate their attention and they are shaping their lives according to the most liked lives on the internet.
