What do you think about the plethora of digital content in front of us today? . In the last decade, with the development of the Internet, there was a great impact on our social life.
Actually, this is not a revolution that happened only in the Internet or in the technological society.
A certain apathy has infected every facet of society. But since my explanation is about the Internet and the technological society, I intend to explain it to you. Interpassivity is one way of living our life in this modern capitalism.
This concept was first presented by the Austrian philosopher named Robert Pfaller. He called this concept Interpassivity - "Aesthetics of delegated enjoyment".
Thus, Interpassivity means that people do not participate in social activities and pass it on to other people to have fun through it.
In other words, Interpassivity is how we can have fun without being active. It is true that technology has greatly affected the functioning of this dysfunctional society.
How many of the following events do you find on the Internet?
- We don't play video games anymore, but other people play them for us.
- We don't really need to make meals or actually enjoy them anymore. We can be happy to see others enjoying it.
- It is not necessary for us to create happiness in our family now. We can be happy to see another celebrity living his life happily.
- At least we don't have to travel now. Someone else will travel for us.
- Now you don't have to come to the streets and fight for justice. For that, a Facebook Share or a Hashtag is enough and you can become a hero.
- No matter how many movies you downloaded from the internet, you never actually watch them.
These events are something you see often, right? If so, what has happened is that we have become inactive. Aren't social media and YouTube channels suggesting ways to have fun while being inactive?
What do you think ?
