Nowadays, with all the technology that our world has , with just one click many activities and a lot of hard work can be done at home. If you need to buy clothes, you have the possibility to access a store's website, select the items you'd like to have, proceed to checkout and pay. If you need to submit an important project, you can send it by email instead of doing it personally. If you need to eat, you can ask for a delivery service. If you need to buy accessories for the house, school materials and anything else you might be thinking about, you can have it delivered to your house withjust a click.
As society has achieved a certain level of technological facilities, one particular question emerges: Why should we bother leaving the house if we can have everything we need and anything we want without making any effort of moving ourselves to other places? The answer is not as easy as it seems.
Even though technology has improved our way of living and helped facilitate our lives, it can't simply replace human interaction. Interaction is the reciprocal action of two or more things, be it people with their surroundings or even a person with another person or other people, constructionof habitats and groups. The technological instruments break this interaction and the online possibilities we have, act as an intervention to this cycle, interrupting this really important process.
Even though it seems faster, easier and better, the sensation of not leaving the house is completely opposite to the sensation when we leave. When we leave the house, we are able to feel the moment, feel what we are doing alive and in color and experience things that not leaving the house takes away from us. When we step out of our houss, we come into contact with the environment that is not just ours anymore, but everybody's, and that is what makes it so special.
A picture on the internet, is just a picture that was taken from an ordinary camera, but what you see from your eyes, nobody else will be able to see, and that is why we should bother leaving the house, because it is particular and unique. We are made of memories and at the end of the day, that's all we have. So, will you remain seated at home and waiti for the world to pass you by or will you leave and live what life has planned for you?
