In an era where the mobile phone has become an integral part of our daily details, communication has become easier than ever before, and we are now able to check on people thousands of kilometers away. However, on the other hand, has technology made us more distant from those sitting right next to us?
In a new episode of the program "Shams Al-Shamousa" on the Kayan 24 platform, hosts Rudaina Al-Maghribi and Haya Al-Jaba'i discussed the impact of mobile phones on our daily relationships, and how it sometimes turns from a means of communication into a source of distraction and isolation, even in moments that are supposed to bring us together, such as family gatherings.
The discussion covered various aspects of our relationship with phones, from privacy and trust between partners, to the impact of excessive usage on social relationships and children, and the time we waste without realizing it while scrolling through applications and checking notifications.
The problem is not with technology itself, but with the way we use it, and our ability to achieve a balance between the virtual world and our real lives.
So, have we become closer to those behind screens, and further away from those in front of us? Perhaps it is time to put our phones aside for a little while and give our real moments the attention they deserve.
