Apple recently announced Vision Pro, but there are concerns about the potential health effects of this technology. People have been seen using the product in restaurants while eating, completely absorbed in their own world. The behavior can of waving hands in the air appear strange and weird to the people around them. The problem is that excessive screen time and lack of social interaction can lead to loneliness and stress. This is already evident when we use our iPhones during dinner with our families. The Vision Pro may be even more isolating and could have a negative impact on mental health. Therefore, we need to be mindful of the impact of technology on our social, physical and mental health.
Research has shown that if we don't have any physical contact with others for a certain period of time, we may lose our sanity and become mentally disturbed. This has been described in the John C. Lilly’s Sensory Deprivation experiment in1950s. The Vision Pro can exacerbate this issue as it doesn't allow for physical contact with reality. This could lead to further health problems.
Another issue is multitasking. When people have multiple screens in front of them, they tend to multitask, which can lead to intense mental stress and reduced productivity. It's important to be minimalist and focus on one task at a time.
With the rise of technology, humans have grown accustomed to receiving instant gratification. However, this experience can be detrimental to our ability to learn and grow. If we are always satisfied, we lose the incentive to strive for more and to overcome challenges that help us survive. We may experience “behavioral sink” described in John B. Calhoun’s Mouse Utopia Experiment or universe. 25 experiment in 1970s.The struggle is a natural part of life and helps us develop our resilience, so that we can truly learn and grow. Life is about experiencing the journey, not just reaching the destination. If we can satisfy all our needs instantly, society will eventually lose vigor and disappear. Slow living is still an important concept, and the living philosophy.
Technology is advancing at lightning speed. We can see that what we thought would take 10 years to achieve is already becoming a reality within a year, so we need to be cautious of the impact these rapid changes may have on human society.
