From Badminton Courts to Smartphones, How things changed in last 10 years

Hello to my fellow community members,

Friends, today social media and smartphones are available to the younger generation like never before. When I was in school, I remember getting my first smartphone at the age of sixteen, when I was in class eleven. Until then, I used to depend on my father’s computer and books to complete my homework or to search for something. But today, things are totally different. Technology is booming, and even children know how to use artificial intelligence tools and browse the internet to get things done quickly.

I try my best to stay up to date with whatever is happening in the world, but there is something I believe is harming this generation. Around ten to fifteen years ago, when I was in school, things were very different. I remember me and my friends used to meet almost every day and spend hours together.

We would walk around the park just to talk, and the park was about two kilometers long. Without even realizing it, we would complete two or three rounds while talking, laughing, and sharing stories. The walking was never our main goal, it just happened because we wanted to spend time with each other.

Today, things are very different. Everyone uses smartphones because the calling rates are so cheap now. I still remember how me and my friends used to look at the call timer and quickly cut the call just before the minute was about to end, because every single minute used to cost money. But now, it is so simple, they just buy a pack that gives unlimited calling for the next few months without even thinking about the minutes.

I am not jealous of them, because I also enjoy unlimited calls and talk to my friends and family whenever I want. But still, there are many things that I feel have harmed the new generation. Friends, they simply do not want to do any physical activity anymore. Everything is right there on their digital devices. For example, even when it comes to watching a movie, they just buy different memberships and watch it as soon as it is released. There are so many platforms that immediately release new movies, so people do not even go out to the cinema with their friends or family like before.

I myself have not played any sports for about a year. I used to play badminton earlier, but now I hardly get time for it, and honestly, I feel bad because that was one of the main reasons I used to stay fit. Recently, I realized that my weight is increasing, and I have to do something to control it.

That is why I have decided to start playing badminton once again, very soon. I am planning to reunite my badminton squad. All of us are working now, all of us are busy, but I will ask them to take some time out from their schedules. Let us give life another chance, where we can relive those same old days, even if it is only for a short while.

If you are reading this blog, friends, this part is for you. Especially if you are in the age group of ten to fifteen years old, please make sure you do not end up getting addicted to smart devices. Walk, play, and run every day, because that is what will truly help you in the future.

If you stay lazy today, by the time you reach your twenties or thirties you will realize that you have done something really wrong with yourself. So stay healthy by playing games. You do not need to go to the gymnasium, just go to the park, run, walk, or play with your friends.

So friends, that is what I wanted to share in this blog today. What are your thoughts about the current generation using smartphones at an early age? Do you support it or do you oppose it? Share your opinion in the comments below.
