Of course there is

We all know what ails the other. All of us tell stories of people using the gadgets too much. I have one, a colleague of mine cannot get off his phone even when the pages are being made or when he is being talked to. And another, in a few meetings there have been extended discussions on the more-than-necessary attachment to smart phones.
But we all think we do not suffer from it. Of course a phenomenon that has taken the world as we know it by storm, has taken us too, with it. Of course we are caught in it. One way of dealing with this ailment is to understand that we are in it.
Anger is not the best way to deal it, I learned the hard way after an evening with alcohol, I threw my phone on the floor and when it refused to give up, I threw it again. So it does not work these days, and I am quite amazed at how much not having it affects one. Anger anyway is never the best way as it leads to destruction and though I am a fan of Shiva and believe that destruction is a must for a new beginning, I also feel that the scale of destruction required for that is complete annihilation, which you as an individual are never going to be able to execute as even murder and suicide is not annihilation, forget about complete. You must pardon my digression. It can be attributed to my understanding that it is my anger that took destroyed the phone and never to an aversion to alcohol.
The point, however, was that when we see the other, we know exactly what is wrong with him/her. We know that getting addicted to something is not a healthy way of life, and last of all to technology as there are theories doing the rounds about technology taking us over, if it has already showed up in popular culture it can be validated at least as a fear/doubt/worry/etc. And to one who may still be in the mood to think, "Let the humans go to the dogs as the dogs went to humans," I say, "No!No!"
I strongly believe people in the media must not use the media to express their points of views. And yes, Hunter S Thompson may have said there is no such thing as objectivity, but as trained professionals, it cannot be that difficult to observe and relate. There are only a handful of reasons for not doing your job well: a) you are not applying yourself to the task at hand b) you do not want to work too much c) you are confused about whether you should be there in the first place. These are observations with respect to the lower-rung of a small-scale , when you move up the ladder there is pretty much only one reason you are not doing your job well -- money=popularity (or the lack of it). There is no such thing as healthy competition. It looks healthy in the beginning, but if you have stayed till the end, you know the beginning was misleading.
