"The weird became the normal!"


     When I was in the bus heading to the gym, I was listening to TED Radio Hour (Podcast) about technology and robots under the title : "Do We Need Humans?" (Click on the title to listen to the full episode). It was quite interesting and surprising for me. I didn't know that people started already replacing humans and animals with robots. When I heard Sherry Trukle saying: "We expect a lot from technology and less from each other"; I realized why most of us are unsatisfied in all kinds of relationships and how much our lives are out of control.  You can watch her full TED Talk on YouTube by clicking here . Most of us use their devices (mobile, laptop, desktop, Ipad, Ipod...) to keep connected with the rest of the world. Is it really the rest of the world? Isn't it just a virtual part of the real world?
