Technological Advancement and Mental Degradation


Nowadays we notice that most people are unhappy with their lives some even feel depressed and there’s that theory that it’s due to the modern life and its technology that we’re witnessing this anomaly.


So I wanted to explore more in detail how technology is affecting our psychological health, resulting in this unsatisfaction with one’s life. We know for sure that technology is helping us in or daily lives and so I’ve been wondering what impacts could it have. I have a few ideas in my mind how this may happen, like through the creation of social medias, we tend to have higher expectation and of course a greater deception follows if one realizes that he’s images ain’t being liked, resulting in some insecurities, but I still wanted to investigate deeper into the subject looking in perhaps other aspects of technology rather than the obvious impact of social medias.


I highly believe that due to the fact that with technology we are interacting less and less with other human beings and more to a lifeless piece of metal to assist us in whatever we're doing, the feeling of loneliness and the level of insecurities is rising within ourselves. But for the time being it's still just an opinion which I want to research deeper into.


The Great Question of the Focus in Life

Each one of us has our own interpretation of what’s the focus in life should be, some think it’s love, other’s maybe success, perhaps space exploration/science for some. Whilst for me it’s about understanding how the world function, a mixture science and some philosophical knowledge from certain books such as the Gayat-al-Hakim (aka Picatrix). Being honest however, I still can’t prove that my point is the right one, maybe I’m in the wrong and the focus should be something else since, thinking about it on a much wider scale, none of these philosophies, neither even science has found any reason to life and people keeps on dying and new one comes with new concepts so does it really matter? Should we focus on enjoying life instead and how do we know we’re doing it right? On this note I’d like to research deeper into the subject and see what researchers found and what the statistic shows.


Democracy - a Beautiful Delusion

The next subject I’d like to explore is whether in this era that we are now, does democracy still work, considering all the corruption and bribes that happens behind the eyes in a democratic republic. Coming from Mauritius I was well aware of the political instabilities of my island but I’ve been wondering whether this is on a global scale or just in certain countries because thinking of all the hate displayed towards Trump, yet he was still elected this generate some questions and now this is just about 2 different republic but how about democracy in the other many countries out there.
