Technology is our Downfall
One who doesn’t understand himself cannot understand what it means to be human. If we can’t form real emotions then we will create false ones through entertainment. Though with cell phones, televisions, cars, and the internet, entertainment is all around us so many will chose false feelings of gratification over real ones. It is all the rewards we receive without earning it that make this true. Consider the social network “facebook”, when the user finds a notification they will feel a sense of pleasure even though not having done anything to deserve it. Individuals need the feeling that there is something going on, even more so that he is a part of something. In earlier times we had much less stimulants making our earned feeling of gratification not so often, well earned and much more satisfying.
