This document warns about the dangers of "digital zombies" - people who are overly addicted to social media and technology. It describes the symptoms of being a digital zombie as being unable to live without social media and constantly interacting online. The document tells a story of an elderly man who was hit by a car, and digital zombies nearby were taking photos instead of helping. It encourages readers to help combat this problem by unplugging digital zombies from their devices and inviting them to engage with the real world instead.
2. I am not sure about Zombies but this is real! This is a new disease
that is spreading faster and effects very badly!
3. Symptoms of being a Digital Zombie
Can’t live without
Facebook, Twitter and
other social media sites.
Continuous interaction
on social media all the
time.
4. Message
There are so many things
to look out in this world
than looking into your
device screens. Life
begins and continues
when you look into the
real world.
5. Message
There were times when you visit your
friends/ family at midnight to give
surprise birthday party, now we
wake up in the night and switch on
the devices just to see notifications
and messages. Don’t loose that
feeling, the feeling that makes you
feel happy, joyful, exiting, amazing!
That’s life!
6. My Personal Experience
A few days back, while I was having a stroll late eve in the city
lights, I saw an old man hit by a car. The incident took place near to
where I was walking by. When the old man was hit, I rushed
towards him to lift him up, but he was in unconscious state.
Thinking that others people around me would come for help, I turned
my head, and I see these Digital Zombies taking snaps and videos! Is
this the right way to treat a man who met with an accident?
7. Time to UnPlug!
So if you see these Digital Zombies
around you, please UNPLUG them
from their world and invite them to
their existing world!
8. Want a VISIBILITY CLOAK!
Being a Digital Zombie
makes you invisible. If any
of a Digital Zombie is
reading this presentation,
then please go out and be
visible by detaching yourself
from your phone!
9. Bringing you back to Life!
And if any of a human is
reading this
presentation, please
break their invisibility
and interact with them!
Bring them back to life!
10. I know this will seem odd and not wise, but believe me, I
did the same with few people and currently they are one
of the best people I hang out with, interaction turns into
beautiful talk! I insist you to fight against these Digital
Zombies not by killing them but by healing them!
