How long does a New Year’s resolution last?

It’s a New Year, the time for new beginnings, changes and maybe resolutions. Every year we tend to promise something to ourselves that we don’t usually keep. We say things like “Next year I am going to exercise more or eat healthily or will open that pastry shop that I have been dreaming about”. Newsflash it won’t happen. Most people have broken their promises by now due to different reasons.
The sooner we accept that the faster we can move to the things that we will actually accomplish this year such as spending less time with our families and more on the laptop. More time on Facebook, Twitter, etc. than having real live conversations with the people next to us.

What saddens me is that people prefer virtual contact more and more instead of face to face one. Like it wasn't happening a lot before but now with technology developing everyday it feels like we are going to lose sense of reality. The predictions for 2014 are that the Internet will have a greater reach than the television and most telephone calls will be made via the Internet.

With these tech advancements what can we expect? I would like to focus on the positive side such as having access to the greatest tool on Earth- Information. It is everywhere, you can access it from your pocket,  it’s amazing. Now, calm down. Yes, indeed having access to information everywhere you go is fantastic but as I mentioned in my previous post it makes you use your brain less and less.
However, let’s hope that with the new education reform at least the future generations will have the chance to survive this tech chaos and will speak to their parents not only via Facebook but also in person.

Happy New Year folks!
