To People Trying to Offer Help for Depression

Before you go back to normal life after you have posted, 'we can talk' and 'talking will help' you need to know that there are various factors for depression. From a farmer who commits suicide because he has lost his everything, to someone who has everything but still feels empty inside, depression has a wide spectrum. Now before you generalise the issue and go back to your worlds only to return when someone else dies, you need to know a few pointers.

Many people are depressed, but as they are busy they don't get time to concentrate on their thoughts. Idle times like quarantine bring back negative thoughts which were always present in the background. So, this would be the right time.

Talks and inspirational quotes are nothing more than fancy words without meanings if the problem is as external as it is internal. Situations and circumstances are also factors that shape the thought process. The whole ecosystem is responsible.

While talks do help at times, but in time their influence fades away. A person can act positive but if the environment continues to be negative the positivity tends to fade. If a person could stay positive in a negative environment, then the person wouldn't require your help.

This meme explains it well.

A vague analogy is not helpful, it can backfire. Don't give examples of apples for problems of oranges. It feels absurd to the person.

Remember, a person may feel dead inside. So words of the living may not always help.

We are a sad generation with happy Instagram stories, so good luck.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Content Creation & Employment

There are many things Artificial Intelligence can do, but there are some things the AI cannot do, like writing this blog. This year has seen the rise of AI, and since then AI service platforms and content created by these platforms have taken over the internet. Initially, it was believed that like previous industrial revolutions, this new invention will affect the basic entry-level jobs with lower skills, but it directly attacked those jobs that require higher levels of skills. As Artificial Intelligence improves, it will get better and will compete with artists, writers, actors, singers, and musicians, along with other jobs like product delivery, sales and even data collection and data interpretation. But can there be a human civilisation where everything is automated? If everything right from art to programming is going to be done by AI, what kind of jobs would humans do? How will the economic cycle function? This sudden rise of AI is perceived to be a major threat to human re

Indian Festival(s): Diwali

Diwali also known as Dipavali, which is festival of lights. Although the present scenario in cities of modern India (@least in Mumbai) contradicts the meaning of the festival. The festival of lights is celebrated as festival of noise. Fireworks were used as they gave lights, which were followed by bombs & other crackers which gives 2% light, 48% smoke and 50% noise. It seems like the main intention of celebrating a festival is to trouble people around. Many people have asthma problems; many people mostly due to old age have timid ears and can even get a heart attack after listening the kaboom noise of the crackers. Even during marriages and Ganpati visarjan , traffic jam and making loud noise with weird dances on the streets are common. They don't care if an ambulance have to pass by or if there is hospital in that area. Indian festivals have now became the best examples of mockery. Festivals are celebrated by troubling other people. Not ju

How Changing Media Shaped History and Societies

We are in the middle of a new AI revolution that is going to change media forever. This could give a push to the saturating and plateaued social media. It could also make it even more difficult to reach a wider audience due to higher competition. To contemplate and guess what may happen, we must understand how changing media changed societies and civilizations. It does three things – unites a type of people, divides or polarizes a group, democratizes a previous media system, and makes content more local, but reduces wider reach. Creation of Insiders, but also Outsiders Invention of Languages When early humans invented languages, they became more organized and developed tribes and societies. But this also clearly defined the concept of an ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’. When they came in contact with tribes which didn’t speak their languages, the idea of insider and outsider became clearer. This also led to clashes and cultural feuds. Invention of Writing Systems When language
