Each invention has an impact on human behavior and contributes to changing part of their convictions and ideas without prejudice to religious constants and national and social values. The car came 100 years ago and shocked people from the Gulf to the Central American regions of that wonderful invention that some have demonized!
Electricity entered us and the lighting spread and it was the reason for the expansion of cities and the housing of the previously uninhabited areas, which they said were inhabited by the Jinn! When the areas of darkness were illuminated, there was no longer a generation for the generation that inhabited them, while the belief remained with the generation before it.
In the sixties, television entered us and caused a shock to our grandparents and their generation in all the Gulf countries who did not accept and disobey him. With time accepted by some members of that generation and the sons of the next generation. We entered the personal computer in the 1990s and after that the laptop and the latter were spread by the Internet.
Then came the king of inventions - smartphone - here changed all the rules of the game! Previously, the Internet was accessible to those who could access it, if he wanted to leave it and if he wanted to remain connected to the network. Today the Internet has become a monster living in our smart phones, this beast has an offensive advantage!
They did not dispose of the smartphone but were criticized for its addictive nature. Leave your phone in front of you on the table and watch the flow of messages and ask yourself: Has this thing happened in your life before? We are in a time that has no parallel and does not compare with past decades.
No one can compromise the smartphone or the Internet - these inventions work together can never be separated - because first, it is used in all areas of life, and second, because the user today is very much aware of the importance of the device, especially that this user is divided into two categories: The first graduated 20 years before reaching the smartphone, the second was born in the millennium and found the device in front of her. Unlike all previous inventions that have not experienced similar gradations.
But we stand up to a big problem, especially since we have become very confused: Are we immune to the attacks of the Internet monster? The answer depends on the behavior of each individual person. The smartphone is the only invention that has the awesome ability to radically change the user's behavior, tamper with his culture, constrain it, distort it or develop it.
The older the user, the more mature his mind and the most culture or experience and more firmly in terms of adherence to religious codes and customs and traditions emanating from the national values. The younger the user (born in the millennium), the less light it is, the less emotional it becomes, the less educated it becomes. The reason, because this generation did not read in general.
We live in a terrible time in which our religious constants and our social and national values are subjected to a sweeping attack by evil entities outside the state. If we did not create defensive fortifications by strengthening the constants and consolidating the national values of the millennium and the generation of this decade, we will have a mysterious generation 30 years from now.
