In my opinion, everything starts from the environment of living, means many times people who mostly engage in virtual world, feel cut offed from the family or possibly they have extreme environment in their house, so in this situation they need Attention and for attention they are taking help of Social Networking Platforms.
And next point of understanding is, most of us wait for the constant feedbacks and this essence of feedbacks keep us constantly engage with the Notification Bar, so in current phase of time for most of the people notification is becoming like 1/4 excitement levels.
So much attraction towards Materialistic Aspect is one more issue which we cannot neglect for sure because, Social Networking World filled with the so called colourful lifestyles and full of commercial advertisements and all these visual effects really attracts us and we fall into the Virtual Illusions.
Literally "we are controllers of our lives" became an Lost Aspect in my opinion because if we observe people's behaviour in current phase towards their virtual gadgets then it can push us towards the deep thinking because, these gadgets are controlling us and if we stay away from these gadgets then many face the Panic Attacks.
And in my opinion, if this cycle will continued in this way only then, when we face the future world of Artificial Intelligence, at that time our flow of living will be changed because no one is bringing Artificial Intelligence, only we are encouraging for the more super technologies, but we have to remember that, we should use that much which we can digest, same way this phase of Virtual Reality and Super Technological Developments can drain our organic life.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
