Humanity and Electronics

What is the optimal lifestyle while occupying our limited time on this whirling planet?

Human behavior has evolved in relationships with the natural world and with other people and evidence shows that it is best served by maintaining those relationships.

Recent decades have shown tremendous changes in lifestyles since the discovery and increased use of electronics. Now, artificial intelligence is becoming a major player on the world stage.

Cell phones have become almost like a necessary permanent attachment to our physical body, more of our mental tasks are being done by computers, almost any subject information is readily available on the internet, and more of our interior environments, and outdoor activities, are electronically controlled.

How do these changes affect our relationships with each other and with outside nature?

Human behavior patterns, with increasing use of electronic devices, reveal a decline in communication skills with others and awareness of nature outside of interior environments.

Are we on a path to becoming intelligent androids, as manifest in science fiction, void of human emotions and other behaviors?

What happens with our creativity, imagination, spirituality, fun, and the experience of merely being human in our day-to-day behavior patterns?

Electronics have greatly increased knowledge and the availability thereof while leading to discoveries and techniques greatly enhancing our lives.

Are we going to a stage where our functionality dependence on electronic devices destroys our humanity?

Where is the stage, or line, which tips the scales?

How have electronics affected the quality of daily living for your residential, interior and exterior, environments with nature and other people?
