We may not be able to
retrieve the new generation from ‘selfie culture’. But, like many other ‘negative’
things we have come through, like alcohol, smoking, drugs etc(list is
illustrative, not exhaustive) and at some stage wanted to create social
awareness about the harm they can cause, time has come when we should be openly
debating the social problems ‘mobile technology’ is creating. There are several
dimensions. There was a time when photography was prohibited in several places.
We may not be able to go back in time. But, definitely, there is a case to
think of imposing some self-regulation in the use of mobiles and web cams. Most
important concern is about the security of the user. Use of such gadgets while
driving, walking on or across roads etc. should be made punishable.
