People lose their shit when it comes to a new item. Sometimes even, gold that is shiny even after say 30 years is deprecated in its value. The proverb old is gold gets a different perspective now, doesn't it? Similarly a new born child who will eventually become a serial killer was once a beautiful baby in a phase. Science tells us that all particles in the universe are constant when it comes to a number. The particles that once constituted a star system are in a different star system, and some are being chunks of pure dust bombarding literally anything in their path. Quite frankly there is nothing new under the sun or to be truthful, around it. If you were a Hindu like me, you'd know that all souls are constant in number too. They just shift different planes of existence due to their deeds. I am sure that other religions might agree partly to the same fact. So, why is it that people don't see things for what they are and determine something to a quality by its age?
Turns out, that evolution (don't fight it with your religion, its true nonetheless) wanted creatures to find new things because 'aging' factor in organics leads to its toxicity. After the age of metal, people discovered corrosion. So, something happens if you keep a thing for too long, by this logic. The corollary follows that if you indeed had something new, you'll witness it last for a specific phase of the time that, for some reason, is useful to you. If you are satisfied with that answer, you probably belong to the kind who still believes humans as just a social animal. In fact, partly, we are but on the other hand, we are curious for ts own sake. The question I am asking myself while drafting this blog is, why, especially in the era of technology, should the old antiques and new smartphones should influence us alike? It is not that complicated initially and probably your first guess is that "Bro, new technology means ease in doing things" and you are right.
See, the technological aspect of human thinks that it's easy to do things when those things are automated by some force by you. It sends a feedback that you no longer have to learn things that you are supposed to do. This lessens your curiosity and guides you to more application in general. However, there are scientists curious about the making itself who research the flaws and get back with a newer solution. The antiques become a reminder of how old people used to do it and we take cues from them time to time smiling each time to realise that we have forgotten to see what was already there. The whole aspect is pure science. Speaking socially, you can now show off either as a person who is rich and capable of doing things because some other person automated it for you. Now, do you see the difference and the point I am getting at?
If you had guessed, "The show off is by rich people who want to show off", you are indeed partly right because that's not completely my point. My case is more generalized. In this scenario, people loose their brains when they see a new thing and I am not including transformers movies because fuck them. People only get excited as new things means that the arrival of something better has arrived. The sense of time in us ticks a new minute every time something this sort happens. It tells us that time is moving and we are not stuck. It tells us that we are indeed progressing. Even in evolutionary perspective, new things, like food-shelter-clothes meant that we are longer bound by our past. It might has well included a sabretooth chasing a primal down the forest. Let's get real now. It is show off that bothers me. Sure, you can do new things with whatever you got but really? All you are trying to prove that you are capable of owning something made by somebody else to make your life easy. Be it a smartphone, a laptop (not so subtle hint that I am showing off my new purchases), or even gold; you owned something you liked. That made you a customer followed by a collector.
In case of gold, what is the use of keeping it in a safe for say, five years and wearing it on the day of your cousin's marriage? You wanted to make yourself beautiful and trust me, even though you are flawless without jewelry, it couldn't hurt to wear it once a month. Find an occasion and use it for you. I know I shouldn't be at my age but some magazines like Vogue say that naked woman with jewelry spiced up sex life in Español countries. I wonder if Indians do the same. In case of a smartphone, we could use it more than itself for communication and gaming. How about we use mobiles for reporting corruption? I don't see people going stealth mode mobiles capturing illegal things happening. I see people snapchatting. People are reaching to their destinations safely now more than ever, good. Why didn't you plan a ride just to see where it leads? Exploring world doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go out of your own nation. All I ask is acknowledgement of the snack guy who makes delicious hot dogs in the next block. In case of a laptop/notebook or whatever you want it to be called, games and entertainment are okay but did you at least plan your week's expenditure? Instead of salivating or other fluiding on a naked <your sexual preference here>, you could have learnt animating and making films to express who you are,
But hell no, we just show off irrespective if we understand what we have. Things have become toys-like for adults where using a thing is valued down by the arrival of a new one. Now-a-days relationships have been so. You don't try to understand each other but if you did, you wouldn't have been a 22 year old, being single or in a relationship with a person who could barely understand you. Since, you don't understand tools are meant for tinkering, you won't get that person who is soul-mate material. Understand the abiotic environment, followed by how you define them and own/won them, concluding it by what you are to the people around you. I don't expect you to understand this either.
