Easy Access But Hard to Avoid Distractions ๐ฅบ
Hello to all hive users ๐โค๏ธ๐
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life๐
There was a time when people had to walk several kilometers and struggle a lot to read books. Even today, the old people tell us how much they had to struggle on the way to their school and had to cross rivers and walk a long distance only then they could reach school and study. Today's time has become so modern that you do not even need to open a book to read, if you have a mobile phone, you can get any knowledge of the world with its help and believe me, you do not even need to move for this. Whenever I meet a very old man and talk to him, he tells me about the same thing but always keeps talking about the things of his time. What he says is also correct because he must have struggled a lot in his time and today when we look at the world, the thing for which they had to struggle so much is now in their hands, then how would they feel or only those people would know.
When mobile phones were not available and technology was not so developed, I saw that people's love for books was very deep and at that time many people became bookworms. My uncles and aunts tell me that when there were no mobile phones, people's favorite pastime was reading books because at that time there was no television and only radio, rest of the people used to entertain themselves and pass their time through books. I still remember that I had a relative, when I went to his place, he showed me some very thick novels, for a while I was surprised that what kind of books these were but then he told me that we used to read these novels in our time and just like today's young generation is addicted to mobile phones, at that time the young generation of that time was addicted to these books.
If we talk about today's young generation and the young generation of that time, then there will be a lot of difference between the two. One thing I have noticed is that even though today's young generation has so many resources, I would say that there are very few youth who are able to focus completely. A child opens his mobile phone to study and takes information about a topic on the Internet, then suddenly his mind gets diverted and he goes to social media. Distraction is the biggest thing due to which children are not able to focus completely because nowadays so many things are available that there are very few people who are able to focus on their work and informative things. Many times I feel that children are becoming lazy and stupid due to these technologies. Think about one thing yourself, there was a time when you had to solve a question, then you had only one option for it, many books, apart from this you had no other option, so if you ever got stuck in a question which you could not solve, then you had only one way left and that was to put more pressure on your brain and gather more information which would help you in solving the question. When a student does this, his brain gets exercised and he gets to know many other things, along with this his brain becomes more sharp and if any such problem comes in the future, then he can easily find a solution for it. If a child of today's generation faces any such problem, then he does not put much pressure on his brain, he directly tries to find the solution of that question on the internet and he gets it very easily, so in such a situation did the child use his brain? Absolutely not. Then later on, this habit of children remains and his brain is not able to think far ahead.

I believe that nowadays many things are easily accessible but whoever is using them should think that today we are using these things but tomorrow when we have to find these solutions on our own then how will we be able to do it. Today children are studying through internet and solving questions but when they reach real life where they are faced with career, there they have to solve these things with their mind and there you get to see new challenges every day, so in such a situation you should think that when they work in a job then how will they be able to find solutions.
The less you use easily accessible things, the better it will be for you and the more you use your brain, the better it is. If you put pressure on your brain, it will become sharp and the brain is such a thing that can work without a data pack and it will be useful even where there is no internet signal, so always work on those things which are your own.
Thanks for reading till the end

Honestly speaking, we can't compare our time with them. And they study very well because there's no other place to get other information expect from doing the reading..
You are right
Their generation doesn't have any type of distractions.
Cool ๐
Our age is supposed to be so full of knowledge but we are abusing and taking it for granted, if it were our parents that got this opportunity, I can't imagine how the world would have been by now. Imagine there are books you don't need to read but you can listen to the audio. How would one be bored with knowledge such sweet inventions but most people have become lazy because of these things.
Exactly
This generation didn't value about these blessings

It is true that easy access make us hardly to avoid the distraction. Same with you that even I reading a book, sometimes I check my phone and sink in several videos and waste my time to open the next chapter of my book.
This thing is common for students because destruction happens due to these things.
