These people believe that happiness lies in technology, not in hearts...

I know enough about technology, but maybe I don't know everything.
Sometimes I want to send a message to someone, but it is sent to someone else by mistake, I think about what to do or how to be.
One of my young friends told me that you old people don't know anything, you don't have access to technology. The analyses and essays you have have no readers or listeners. You don't know TikTok or Viber, not to mention WhatsApp and other applications...
I told him we are really old, but at least we have some experience.
Although I have great respect for the younger generation, in the current technological climate, every day I scroll through social networks, I become more and more frustrated.
Now it’s better to write like this to this young man...
I think that the generation of the last decade is the most oppressed in the history of the last century.
A generation on the invisible and blurry border between two completely different worlds, the simple and real old ones, and the future called the digital world or the technology era. Doesn't know whether to go back or move forward.
There is no turning back, we wonder what to do.
No memories of real life.
This is a generation, a generation of children with suicide and explosion songs, a boring and lost youth, and an uncertain future...
A generation below the poverty line, poverty of happiness, smile, love, trust, respect, awareness, a generation of blind and meaningless imitation.
Yes, this is the generation of the last decade...
A generation that only knows how to deceive itself.
It has no literacy in relationships and no desire for loneliness.
With the slogan “Loneliness of being with others.”
But everyone knows that we only sing lies. Each of us needs a companion who can provide a shoulder for our grievances.
The generation of the last decade is a generation whose only friends are messages and notes on mobile phones.
The generation of false love and mistrust with an incalculable percentage.
A night of irrational awakenings to the blue light of mobile phones and depression from misunderstanding.
Programs like Telegram and WhatsApp, for example, are a bridge of communication between us humans.
The same goes for chat, the worst way of communication that mankind could invent.
The generation of the last decade and those over twenty.
And those who have depression and pain in the soul, day and night, face to face with this virtual space with videos, stories, and so on...
We have forgotten the customs of life...
You know?
We are glad that, for example, we live in an age of technology and progress.
But if I tell the truth, will this technology lead to good?
Can it make you smile from the bottom of your heart?
Or bring true love?
Or give the flavor of old and real life?
Childish enthusiasm?
Or bring back your lost childhood?
Do not under any circumstances make this youthfulness haram.
Is it possible?
You understand too, don't you?
Do you see how we have been deceived?
There are not even memories of our lost childhood, so perhaps there is some encouragement amid such coldness.
Generation of the last decade:
Which is wanderung in the streets of life...
Without a goal or even a little hope...
The generation that is going, but will not reach...
In the breathtakingly racing down the road to nowhere...
A generation of unthrown grievances stucked in the throat and smiles for photographing...
