Question

Do you think our new digital habits have made us better or worse people? Explain your response in depth.

Answer 1

I believe that our new digital habits have made us bad people, simply because we are less connected with the real world that we think we are. Just the fact that we care-less, in itself, shows us where we are heading in terms of human interaction. It is easy to become an internet troll since there is almost no physical altercation with the person, we tend to be rude and offensive to others, without giving any thought to the morality of the situation and what it is making us into. It has brought forward a change of perspective where individuals constantly require entertainment from their surroundings, which, even though not a bad thing inherently, means that individuals tend to remember less and have a lesser degree of attention span which makes us lazier. With being lazy comes procrastination and with it, a whole different set of problems starts flooding. In actuality, while digital habits are not bad, we lack the balance to minimize its impact on our life, since we know that nurture has more impact over an individual than nature, we need to be able to control such outlook for our outcomes to not be worse.
