Good one, Sir. I think there is also a moral responsibility of the platforms to curate the content if they are mitigating the stuffs. Because we live in such a diverse society and culture, and more or less in family, in physical world parents try to curate the things as much as they can..... but in this digital era...,, my father might not be aware of what stuffs I might be watching ..... also hail to Incognito Mode, ... of whom parents are not aware, while children are.... So, curation of content should be there, along with warnings about the consequences it possess, which many of them are not doing just to ease their work and make more money out of it..... which is putting their customers life in danger..... and in long run they might loose customer because of some or the other reasons that you have above mentioned.

Very good read, sir. The sad truth is we live in a digital era, which is making this world more and more virtual. Though today's buzzwords are networking, collaboration and creating value, I don't find lot of instances of compassion, warmth and greater good or tolerance. Aren't they all the result of too much of capitalism or so-called networking? Could be an interesting topic, of where we stand today vs few decades back. World has changed so much since then. We do talk of improving the productivity but none of us have time in our lives, we do have tools of better connectivity, like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc but most of us are hardly connected in it's true sense. Human values have been overtaken in this era of bots and the so-called concept of 'creating value for all stakeholders'. Really, all stakeholders'? At times, I wonder what our next generation will eventually experience. Your article has triggered lot of thoughts now. And most likely, in a bit, I will go and scroll through my images I have shot over the period of time, to enjoy the real beauty of this real world. 'Thoda sa sukoon'

Very well written sir. A deep driven thought to question the benefits and comforts of the so called digital era. The human desires our never at bay and anything and everything cannot suffice the human needs...!
