A teenager's problem. Nowadays, almost the entirety of teenagers below the age of eighteen have been brought up under the influence of technology. They have had the Internet available almost from the cradle. While this might be a positive thing, it is also one of the major drawbacks regarding socialisation, causing many of the problems the youngsters in today's society face. Being too “socially unsocial” is the main problem I encounter in this generation. They do tend to avoid real social interactions, leaning towards their more virtual counterparts, where they can hide and express themselves safely covered by the almost unbreakable shield of their screens. They feel enormously important. They usually have a false perception of overnight fame which they long to extend for life. They exchange likes as if it were money, they buy their dopamine shots by means of fake attention. The cause of this probably resides in the aforementioned lack of social skills: they shomehow traded the playground for the smartphone and that has costed them the ability to socialise. They even rely on an application to find a partner, sweeping left or right according to the physical appeal that a filtered photograph can portray. This could be avoided, at least in part, cutting back on the use of the smartphone and the hindrance it poses to our liberty. If we were able to live our daily lives without a smartphone for about a week, we would surely realise how important it is to make connections, to express ourselves properly, to use body language and intonations. Text and emojis just seem too cold.
