A Look at the Rising Generation, Part 2
Interaction with the Computer Screen
We need to decide how we want to see the next generation,and we should make a list of principles and behaviors, and accordingly create a program to bring them to this state. It is very important to define the right principles because we may be wrong.
I remember discussing the problem of early sexual relations with psychologists many years ago, and they said it was not a big deal if teenagers started having sex at the age of 13. This seemed controversial to me, but no one wanted to listen to me. As a result, this age has dropped to nine today.
The question remains: Is that a bad thing? In any case, this issue should be brought into a public forum.
We must decide whether this is acceptable or not, and within what framework, so that it does not ruin young people’s lives or damage their future, so they feel that an intimate relationship is more than just sex, and family is more than burdensome responsibilities to each other. If young people perceive family only as a burden, they will not want to get married at all.
We need to understand the peculiarity of the generation that we are facing because it all must change its nature. We are experiencing radical changes in technology and in our relationships, and we have moved from human-to-human connection to human-to-computer-screen connections. Through these screens we are influenced from all over the world, not just from our village, city, or small country.
Comment: Psychologists say that the younger generation lacks empathy. It is precisely because connections have become less “humanized” and more computerized that children have lost the ability to empathize. He may be a wonderful child, but he lacks empathy for those close to him.
My Response: This is a consequence of several phenomena that are related to each other and influence one another. Firstly, there is a change in the climate and in how our planet affects humans. After all, man is an integral part of the whole of nature.
Secondly, our ego is constantly growing, and in the last generation it has grown in a very particular way. We have stopped communicating directly with each other and have switched to communicating through technological means, to a completely different type of communication between people.
I am not connecting with people anymore, but with machines. Even when I am listening to the news, reading something, or talking to someone, I am talking to the car. There are computer systems between us that determine how we feel and understand each other. What I see or do not see, what I hear, and how I react depend on these systems.
Machines determine my connection to the world. That is, we exist in a completely artificial system. We must finally determine what we have come to, and whether we still have a chance to change something, or just raise our hands.
