Enough is Enough - Digital Slavery Breakout : You are being Programmed #EnoughisEnough #OfflineTherapy #SocialMedia Happiness is no more a mere state of mind. Happiness is a mode of self-expression now. It seems that we are bought up and groomed for a lifelong directionless running. This decade of internet penetration into our lives has also made us warriors of a digital rat race. This is the rat race of happiness! That’s what we do on social media. We scroll down timelines to see so many happenings and happiness. Why there is a constant pressure to make outside world know that I am somebody and “My life is happening”? Why we want a celebrated life? Why social media is the HUB of our emotions? Why different states of our mind establish a direct link with these websites and mobile applications? Have you wondered How these platforms have become such a prominent mode of self-expression. To manage the cost of hosting and maintaining these websites, mobile applications, employing brilliant software programmers they feed us some targeted advertisements. Sounds reasonable, right? This generation of social media platforms successfully count your time spent on their website or mobile application as the profit you have generated for them. They mint money whenever you sneak through these applications. You think it is leisure, and you are off work. But, reality is that every single moment you use these applications you work for them. Every single bit of data generated by you is the digital asset they own. This asset is commonly referred as “The Big Data”. We work for them, and most of us get paid in kind not in cash. We trade off our time to get a dose of dopamine released by our hormones through the likes, comments, followers, statistics, comparisons, jealousy, depression and an addictive motivation to remain in that web loop. They have secret promotions for diverse types of affiliations which you should build. You aspire to achieve them. You work hard to acquire them. These aspirations are not BURNING DESIRES. This is a wish list of never-ending materialistic possessions. You acquire one, you have the next one ready in queue. In short, we work for their profit. We fulfill their dream. Nothing is free. If you are not paying for the product; then you are the product. You are being sold. You are the revenue. Remember, It is not a computer program; In Fact, you are being programmed. Your aspiration is list is not a natural tendency of human desire, it is targeted marketing. With political parties harnessing the social media to their benefits, propaganda and biased consensus building; the future looks more appalling They have profiled each of us into categories of influencers and influences. We all are their marketing agents. Some of them paid in cash, most of us PAID through the fake addictive happiness we experience through some released dopamine somewhere in our body. You are constantly being programmed through these marketing platforms to work harder, earn more than before, and then ‘blow up your increased earnings for the Wishlist you built IN THAT CONSTANT MARKETING RADIATION. Let’s call “Enough is Enough” and find more productive ways to lead your life. This is your life; live it to inspire yourself not others.
