cinema trust Babak Nabi wrote in Etemad newspaper: Every morning when we wake up, it is as if a new page opens in the story of our life. But have we ever considered that in the digital world, our stories are left half-finished more than ever? It’s like these days, each of us is a writer who keeps putting down the pen and looking for a new idea, without putting an end to our story.
Do you remember when the internet was slow and we had to wait two minutes to open a site? No, no… maybe you don’t want to think about that time. But anyway, that time seemed like we had more time to think. Now in the digital world, even the time to take a breath is less. As soon as you open your eyes, the smartphone is in your hand and you are scrolling through social networks, messages and news of the day. That’s right, no time to think.
Now we can’t even finish a book, let alone a long-term project or a lasting relationship.
It may be strange, but this sense of incompleteness is exactly the same as a book in which no chapter ends. Sometimes, just when we think we are writing a new story, our mobile phone rings and changes the course of the story completely, or maybe just when we are thinking of writing a new article or starting a long-term project, we see a post on Instagram that brings everything together. it pours In this situation, everything remains half and half.
Remember that these unfinished stories are not limited to projects and daily tasks. This issue has also spread to social relations. In this era, deep communication has given way to quick and superficial messages. We no longer take the time to properly nurture a relationship. Instead of having a long and meaningful conversation, we go for short and quick messages. Sometimes, these half-finished messages can show inattention to each other. It’s interesting to know that even when someone asks you to “take care”, you quickly answer “okay”, leaving a sea of feelings and unfinished details in the middle. This digital age makes us feel like we are living in a sci-fi movie, where everything has to happen quickly and instantly. As a result, we remember that sometimes it is better to spend time on a story or project to finish it. We remember that in the real world, we don’t have an end line and everything requires patience and continuous effort. But these are not all bad.
It may seem at first glance that we have deviated from the right path and our stories are left unfinished, but perhaps this incompleteness itself is a kind of art. Maybe this is the new world where we can’t think about the end of stories, but we have to keep writing at every moment, even if our stories are half finished. Perhaps this is what is called “digital life”: an endless dance between the lines, a story that never ends. So the next time you look at your story and find yourself stuck halfway through, know that maybe you’re the only writer who wants to write a book in a digital age with endless twists and turns, and maybe, just maybe, that’s the world we need. .
