The Dark Side of Japan

Millennial Generation and Real Organic Conversations

They are people who were born after 1994 and by the definition I am one of those millennial kids but I have a very different view compared to those so called millennials. 

Millennials were raised by their parents that they are special and raised under economically and financially and materially affluent situation. They could get whatever they want like PlayStation, XBox, smartphone and etc. 

The medium of communication is also different amongst millennials. They are heavily dependent on online communication, device based communication rather than actual face to face communication. Online based communication lacks many important piece of information. The effect of such generation is obvious in Japan and probably globally they are becoming a big issue. 

 In Japan there's ever increasing people who are コミュ障 Komyu-Sho meaning that they have problems having real face to face conversations with other people but they are so loquacious when they are online and have their devices like smartphones. 

They type shit but they ain't got the guts to talk to a real person. Such a coward but I believe it's the effect of heavy reliance on data based communication with other people. For instance I see so many people like this in Japan, when a family or friends are having meals together, they don't talk mutually but they are all individually on their phone texting to someone else. This is wrong for many reasons. 

Put your phones down and talk to people. I feel disgraced when we meet and a person is just on his or her phone all the time. 

What the hell is the point then? I want organic communications with real people and I don't want to be facing on my keyboard when I communicate with someone.
