It is generally acknowledged that living in the electronic information era facilitates the connection between individuals. However, it is sometimes argued that a large number of them are not even close to feel happy with the way they live. Personally, I firmly agree with the perspective for two main reasons.
To begin with, the technology has revolutionized the way we communicate each other. Online communication applications and social media websites provide instant information about people's lives owing to the fact that everybody can easily see other's lives. Especially seeing everyday life's of wealthy people leads the majority to focusing on what they do not have in their lives resulting in unhappiness in their lives as they emulate the rich life. This has been evidenced by numerous academic studies the latest of which is one published by the University of Sydney in 2016 concluding that individuals who are in between 18-40 years old spend 75% of their time on social media by following celebrities and they usually complain about the things that they do not have. The study further shows that 99% of them have depression as they do not know how to be satisfied with their belongings.
Furthermore, most of the population who connect via the internet do not focus on the moment as they keep checking their social media accounts. Due to the fact that they miss the time that might create unforgettable memories. This results in connecting with technology yet leading to disconnection with the rest of the world. As a consequence, we might have a higher amount of unhappy individuals in the society. According to the statistics released by the Social Life Committee of Russia in 2018, additive use of the internet, specifically the social media causes introversion which leads to skipping the best moments in their lives. Moreover, when the younger generations grow up, there is a high chance that they will not have memories with family members as they do not share any time with them. As a result, the society would have unhappy introverted generations.
In conclusion, the era of the electronic information has brought convenience in connectivity, however, people start to feel unhappy in their lives given the fact that they focus on other people's richness and they do not live the moment.
