THE 10 YEAR CHALLENGE: HOW HAS THE WORLD CHANGED?

Social media in recent years has become the most influential, impactful and fastest medium of exchanging ideas and sharing content across the world among all age groups. Among various crazy challenges which go viral from time to time, 10 years challenge was one of those which went vigorously viral across the world that even pulled some of the world famous celebrities into it like Ellen Degeneres, Miley cyrus etc to name a few.

While this “ 10 years challenge” was buzzing on the internet platform  which mainly involved people posting their photos 10 years back and hence, a simple yet complicated thought struck me as to , if at all world was on social media platform what would it  post for the 10 year challenge?

Further, let’s try to sort this thought out by getting into the shoes of the WORLD itself!!

Talking about human touch, back then during 2009, birthdays, anniversaries etc would be filled with receiving wishes from loved ones and celebrating with friends and family; but yes, now these special days are like any other normal day where people wish us only when Facebook reminds them.

Coming to the entertainment factor, until years ago, people would eagerly wait to get together with friends and family for games, movies, tea, quick chats etc. Today the only way people want to rejuvenate themselves is by being glued to their smart phones and watching loads of web series, videos, browsing etc to such an extent that they forget to notice even the daily beauties like sunrise and sunset.

While talking about schools, it was the center for step by step learning back then during 2009. Whereas today, children learn everything including languages, academic lessons, extracurricular talents etc on digital platform which doesn’t make the conventional schooling interesting and enjoyable to them anymore.

Extreme digitization has changed the world from being “world of humans” to “world of robots”. And yes, “10 year challenge of the world” is way too complicated to sort out.
