Jagannath Das’ Post

So, I recently hopped on a train after ages, thinking of those times when I used to carry cards and games, all set to make friends with fellow travelers. Back then, striking up conversations and playing games with strangers was the norm. But times have changed. People have changed. Especially the younger lot. I noticed a shift from being social butterflies to more of a solo vibe. And guess what's a big part of this change? Reels and short videos. On this recent train trip, it wasn't the usual chit-chat and games. Instead, everyone seemed plugged into their screens, lost in their own world. It's become a thing now—a single person in each coach glued to their phone, diving deep into reels with full-volume mode on. It's quite a shift, right? The fun, lively talks during travel have turned into quiet moments spent watching stuff on screens. But here's the thing: Are we missing out on real connections beyond the digital world? I believe it's crucial to pause and reflect on these shifts in our society and ponder about the questions that left us here. #travel #digitalworld #theshift #question
