“The Challenges of Constant Connectivity” or
Connectively Disconnected.
In this generation, it is hard not to guess or predict what
most of the people do first thing in the morning when they wake
up. It is quite evident that the majority of people are looking
at the phone. Checking emails, texts, missed calls or social
media. It seems that this is an important task that first thing
to do when they wake up. Sometimes when I analyze myself and
observe people around me, I have to admit that we human beings
including me have become “Mobo” zombies. The need to stay
connected or the fears of missing out is both similar to each
other. The issue here is that I am not alone to realize that that
figuring how to disconnect is a concerning issues within our
modernized culture. This is because constant connectivity is just
a lame thing for individuals as it takes too much time from
irrespective family members and stresses people out. From the
constant possibility of connectivity, one of the things that is
very evident from these is that I have urge I need to make a call
a=or need to check my phone. Specifically people are having a
feeling, which they cannot feel unless they are connected with

other things. These are the major issues of the generation, which
is challenging the constant connectivity though disconnection.
Many times, it is seen in other people that people are
suffering from shaking syndrome when their phone rings. Most of
the time, majority of people are trying to answer and not to miss
the calls. In this aspect, I have seen that most of the people
cannot stay without having checked on their phones. To be
specific people nowadays are more connected to their phones or
virtual interface than the real life things. It is the same thing
with text messages. If an individual gets the vibration or
notification, they are constantly seen to be checking on the
phone immediately to check the message. It is a simple opinion or
common sense to choose something that is more important than the
phone. Nowadays, it has become very tough to act strong in
defying the presence of virtual things as a result people have
lost the capability to connect with self, loved ones and
important people in their life. The phone has become the biggest
distraction; it has turned in to a time killer, social addition
for people in all their toils and pains. Moreover, it has turned
in to something, due to which many people are suffering. It is
quite ironical to see people easily ignoring valuable tasks for
30 minutes while they are scrolling down pictures and reading
phrases that could take hours of their time. This issues are more

popular amongst the generation due to the fast of use of
technology as it makes things easy provided with a new kind of
thinking that expands the capability to reason through complex
issues in an efficient way. However, people are unable to pay
attention to the fact that while doing so, they are neglecting
their immediate and most valuable requirements.
The thing that is highly visible amongst the generation is
that tends to say, “I would rather do texting than receiving or
making a phone call.” This gives a sense of an argument that one
can have the virtual illusion of companionship without any
liabilities of friendship. It aims to show that the original
demands of friendship intimacy are quite complex which involves a
lot of understanding. Specifically it can be said that today’s
generation is passing through the time when people are using
technology to outgo and to cut down the hard parts of life. One
of the things that I have found with continuous connectivity is
the challenges to avoid the anxiety of being disconnected. The
people are living in a kind of panic. We are losing the
sentimental and emotional counterparts of livelihood, which make
American standards of living rich. Losing the way to express
individual feelings practically is equal to potentially losing
how to express ourselves.
