🎈 Speed is KILLING your human connections
Walk down the street, and you'll notice it—the ever-accelerating pace of modern life.
No one seems to heed the advice of the content and fulfilled: slow down and savor the moment. Instead, everything is speeding up—faster media, faster communication, faster food, faster attention.
But how does this relentless rush impact the quality of your human connections?
Let’s take a closer look at how this fast pace affects both digital and face-to-face communication.
The Price of Speed in Digital Communication
In the digital world, faster communication often means sending and receiving more messages in less time. It demands that you check your phone constantly, leaving you perpetually distracted.
When you increase the pace of your digital interactions, your attention span suffers. You find yourself skimming, reacting, and multitasking, which can leave your brain feeling overloaded—or "fried," as I like to say. This constant state of distraction pulls you away from the present moment.
And as the cliché goes, the present moment is where happiness lives. It’s also where the richness of face-to-face communication unfolds.
