The reduction in compassion that happens when we're all behind computer screens is not good for the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think technology really increased human ability. But technology cannot produce compassion.
Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.
I am a great enthusiast and early adopter of technology, but sometimes I wonder whether the inexorable integration of technology in our lives could diminish some of our quintessential human capacities, such as compassion and cooperation.
Compassion is no substitute for justice.
I find that in the 21st century, there's not a lot of compassion for what other people are going through or the walk that they have to walk.
The human capacity for compassion is not a reflex that is triggered automatically by the presence of another living thing.
The problem with compassion is that it is not photogenic.
We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.
Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Compassion is contempt with a human face.
