Today's society lives under constant digital communication, which has helped people communicate regardless of distance, however it also brings adverse consequences, something that we do not distinguish so easily because it has become part of current nature, it has been known as: "The Culture of immediacy

Psychology knows it as "Instant gratification", which is the desire to experience pleasure or satisfaction without any kind of delay or postponement. In this way, society has become more impatient, the idea of ​​waiting in life is fading and this produces consequences in our social and psychological life. Why do we want everything to be faster?

Throughout my whole life I have had many stories, memories, of course like everyone, this is important to mention because part of the life that we want to remember or express is what ends up being in these media and I consider that the way we live now, It is more painful than we can imagine, sometimes it is enough to take your digital devices and remove them from your life for 1 day, you will immediately realize the enormous difference that exists in that day. There is a feeling of anxiety, as if you were missing something, because there is that constant in your life, of being "reachable, or locating someone".

Most of the time, even needs that we did not have before are created, and that is where an algorithm like the one in social networks makes contact with us, granting us a photo or video that we did not know existed, just as long as we stay active longer, when one can think "Why am I seeing the photo of a person sunbathing on the beaches of Cancún?", It is curious, because the fact of using our time has become something so easy from manipulating and at the same time something so self-destructive, our life went largely to a digital universe.

Don't get me wrong, all this has its good points, I personally am also part of this virtual universe, which is why I also have social media and I have also spent hours watching videos, without thinking about the hours that I am leaving there, it is even very useful fact of finding things that you did not know existed, because you can discover activities, courses, etc..., new things in life where you can focus your attention and it can become a benefit in your life.

You know, in fact I did the experiment with myself, I decided to take my cell phone and put it away from me, and immediately the need to search for information about the "Lupin" series in Google came to my head, this need to search for something is created, constantly, and well, we just have to use our cell phone, without thinking twice. I remember a teacher I had in my High School once told me that we live in "The Information Age" and everything you want to search for is at your fingertips.

So, when I felt a slight concern to look for information and my phone was far away, then I began to ask myself questions: What if I received a new message? Have I already listened to the latest music from Birdy? I did that and the other one?, Will I have received an email?, etc...; In a few words, I began to ask myself questions about needs that have come true thanks to this new digital era, let's say that an easy window of opportunities is created, which, don't get me wrong, is great, but it also has its disadvantages because now my time it goes into new digital needs, you know the classic on YouTube of "I'm just going to see this video and that's it", but in the end that video becomes "videos" or even a movie that you didn't know existed, but I caught your attention, Haha ​​there is even an option on YouTube called "Watch Later", specifically to create a list of everything that according to your mind you will be able to well watch later, it's ironic.

And we cannot forget the update that practically all the social networks received, or in any case the majority, of course I refer to the one that appears on our devices as "Stories", which is usually video or a photo, which is published and lasts 24 hours, there A lot of time is usually consumed, anyway, and after 2019, the year in which COVID came to interrupt what we call "life", well, in that period a short video format began to be used, or also called clips, the important thing It is that it has become part of the daily life of many people today and in summary, I could say that there are good things and bad things about all of this that we are currently seeing.

- And so, I consider that the use of these devices can also grant certain benefits, such as:

In my opinion, it is a very interesting topic to talk about, because putting aside the fact that having these new technologies helps us, we must also be aware of how such an important characteristic as patience has been massively exhausted in the new generation, which creates despair, anxiety, depression, etc...

In fact, something that has caught my attention lately is that the music we listen to, as well as the artistic world, is aware of this phenomenon, therefore the idea of making things shorter and simpler became stronger, and in my opinion, for something to become faster and shorter is a form of emotional self-destruction, and life has never served like that.

A very beautiful example of how life works and how slowly it can be, is to see how a plant grows and flourishes, of course, you have to take care of it, and be in constant movement so that it does not die, in the same way, when we throw our mind on something so simple, our brain begins to feel impatience, without realizing it, but if we put together all that amount of, let's say "short-lived products," it creates a great emotional drain.

I mean... just think of it this way, I can see something that is going to take 1 or 2 minutes, no problem, but after a while, if the content of this is very entertaining, 2 minutes becomes 2 hours, and of course, we can control this, one way would be to be specific in what we want to look for and do with these tools, but it is true that it exists a great susceptibility to do this, because of how easy it is to just take your phone and open your eyes to this digital universe.
