“SELF-ISOLATED” slightly odd in listen. Odd in listen but man is not feeling it, why? Let’s start the point. Every man is busy in his busy life. It is rare to find someone who can say that He is free or not busy in nowadays. Each and every is busy & not only busy actually he is in hurry also for his work. Youth are slightly busier than adults & old man but you can never treat adults & old mans out of race in being busy. And believe me that number of people just increasing & increasing rapidly day by day.
Can you imagine about use of Smart Phone or mobile before 20-25 years back? As per fact in around of 1994 “Smart Phone” word started or came in listen but in 2007 after iPhone invention Smart Phone gets its proper identification. As per available data 96% internet user use smart phone now. Means smart phone covered 96% of huge population almost in just 20 years of its birth or innovation. Before invention of smart phone use of mobile phone was very costly and accordingly not in reach of a huge population. In India 85.5% Homes are with at least one smart phone in each home. In India like populated country number of internet users increased from 25 Crore (2014) To 97 Crore (2024) in just 10 years and We can not say that smart phone & internet is basic need of poor people but fact is that they have, in current era.
Actually, smart phone & internet have taken control over people in current era. You will see people busy mostly on mobile or smart phone. People are so busy in mobile that it was hard to believe before 20 years back that anything like smart phone will come in picture & will control almost overall people. People are educated or uneducated does not matter as there had been involvement of all kind of people in mobile & internet. Impact is so huge that it is almost undefinable till end.
In fact, smart phone or mobile & internet is base only and behalf of this base there are so many social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, You Tube, TikTok, X (Twitter) etc. are connected to make people busy. Obviously, social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, You Tube, TikTok, X (Twitter) etc. all are to connect people with each other. But there are always two aspects of everything one is use and other one is misuse. And same is with social media platforms also. I just want to give an example, A bike or car is very useful to travel long distance in short time just due to its speed and here speed of bike is useful but drive should be aware about to break also that where break need to take or speed need to do slow and if driver don’t take break on time or don’t do speed slow then you can say that it is misuse of bike’s speed and result We all know well i.e. accident. Seems same with social media platform like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, You Tube, TikTok, X (Twitter) etc. also as people are using these platforms and not only using actually, they are so busy on these platforms that they are missing their important works & persons around them also.
Making Reel on social media platform has been hobby as well as profession of no. of people. First, they make Reels and then share it and after that they wait or observe in excitement for response of people on that Reel. And there have been so many accidents during making Reels, sometimes on railway track, sometimes on roof, sometimes stunt of bike or car, sometimes on road, sometimes on hills and sometimes with animals. For example: on 03rd FEB’2026 in Delhi a 23 years man was killed after struck by a car driven by a 17 years old minor boy who was making Speed Fun Reel. On MAR’2026 an 18-year-old boy hit by a truck on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway during making Reels. OCT’2025 in Odisha a teenage hit by train during making Reel on railway track. Ever you think that Why, there are so many accidents during making Reels? Actually, People are physically presented in these cases of accident on highway, on railway track, on speed bike during making Reels etc. but fact is that they are totally presented on social media platform only despite being physically present on highway, on railway track, on speed bike etc. they are absent and in unconsciousness situation at these places of accident. What You will say on use of social media platform that are specially make to connect people but, in this scenario, man is totally disconnected on highway, on railway track, on speed bike etc. during making Reels with their surroundings activity & people around Him?
That were fatal examples. Let’s see some more example in our daily life and believe me that you will feel it in your own house and around of you. If you will observe during talk with someone then you will find that person talking with you is checking or eyeing on mobile screen more than you with finger up & down on screen, Why? Are you or your topic is not important for that person? Actually, not so, in fact the person is habitually presented on mobile screen or social media platform and will answer you in yes or no only. Sometimes When you are taking breakfast, lunch or dinner with family you will observe that your family member is busy on mobile screen, five fingers of one hand running on mobile screen & fingers of other hand helping that busy person to eat food and if you will go sightly in deep then you will find that someone is missing one or two menu due to being busy on social media platform. Use of social media platforms till late night is well known by all of us and thus the person that is talking with you or your family member during breakfast, lunch or dinner with you are presented but just physically and you will feel it that there is no healthy conversation between you and them and I will call this disconnection or isolation of people from other one due to illness of being busy on mobile screen or on social media platform means Absent in present.
Very disappointing that this illness or habit of being busy on mobile screen or on social media platform have been spread till villages and villagers also doing same. There is ratio of play like cricket, kabaddi, football has been degreed as people all are absent among the people and in actual, they are presented on mobile screen or on social medial platforms despite being among the people. And that is the status of most of the people either in city or in village. And no surprising that Smart phone is special choice of children other than any toy or game and this is a not good sign for future of children as well as society as well as nation as there are bad things also available with good one on theses social media platform which people are enjoying in “Self-Isolation” situation and can be consider “Absent in Present” despite being present physically.
We will have to understand the impact of such use of mobile screen or social media platform that is similar to illness or “Self-Isolation” situation and presenting a man “Absent in Present”. We need to come out before loss of health and society to its End.
Thanking You!
