Sometimes, the world seems quite odd. One part of the world, that is rushing and really wants to go digital with data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, while the other side is primitive with fire and crickets indicating more than Wi-Fi. Ironically, both sides exist together, travelling simultaneously, and also completing and contradicting one another.
People who live in the digital age want a “detox” from the screens, and in searching for something human, they think technology has blurred it. At the same time, those who still have to cope with limitations like remote villages and isolation are doing their best to stay hooked to the global stream—to not be left behind by time.
The world is toggling between two extremes: on one side, the modern desire for speed and on the other side, the deep longing for realness. The primitive side wants to be digital; the digital side longs for the easy way out. And in between, we tread lightly—trying to keep the progress while risking losing ourselves.
Maybe the balance is not about taking sides but rather about understanding both. Finally, “advanced” and “backward” are simply directions—viewpoints on a world that will always be in motion.
