Yes, technology is dehumanizing us.
Children who don't go out to play in the street, meetings with friends where nobody talks, events where we only worry about taking the best photo, people who live glued to a screen...
But in just a matter of days, our relationship with and use of technology has changed dramatically.
We continue to use it as a tool for work and individual leisure, but today, we have also transformed it into something more, we have mastered it to put it at our service, we have turned it into something warm and close.
And we, the people, have done it.
Technology has become the kiss you give your mother, the hug from your brother and the long talks you have with your father. It has become the beer get-togethers with friends, the morning coffee with work colleagues.
Because today, a phone call makes you feel close to your loved ones and fills you with energy again.
That's why technology these days is more human than ever, because we have humanized it, and we need to keep it that way. Because, as Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic."
Let us continue to use technology so that, even when we are far away, we feel very close.
