Digital Life is a research and educational program about radically rethinking of the human-computer interactive experience. It integrates digital world and physical world.
The digital world has changed us for sure. Glued to Facebook and Twitter to keep up on the latest news of friends and celebrities. Statistically increasing the number of ‘selfie’ related deaths each year. I mean, we killed a dolphin when everyone wanted to take selfies with it. Too busy trying to get fans on Vine and that stuff with Snapchat… still don’t get it.
Or reinventing the wheel with Tinder, Grindr, you know, online dating. How does it really affect us though?
Do we feel left out when friends post about their activities, but you weren’t there because you weren’t invited? Do you see photos of people's’ family and ever wonder why you’re still sitting in front of your computer, waiting to get in an Overwatch match?
I think it’s the reduction of social interaction over time due to technology that causes some sort of psychological shift. We’re stuck overanalyzing the things we see or read because well, there’s enough time to do that. It’s not as if you’re being shown the pictures in person or you’re actually at the event with your friends. Those are the distractions that keep you in the mix, without having to overthink your life.
It is just the way we have adapted to the things that we have been given. Of course, not everyone is like this. It’s a small percentage, but I believe there are some people who have found the perfect balance of physical and digital lives. Though there are some who refuse to be on Facebook or are reluctant to get a smartphone. It’s probably not because they’re afraid of these types of side effects, but it could be many things. They just keep life simple and only need what they really need out of their digital life.
Adaptability. I guess that is truly key.
