Viral Video: Indian Billionaire and Mahindra Chairperson, Anand Mahindra took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the reluctant behaviour of people to live in the current moment and capture it in their minds and souls. Instead of living in the moment, people increasingly prefer to capture the moments on their mobile phones. Anand Mahindra said “We are trapped in a cage of screens” and this statement likely stems from consequences about the potential negative psychological consequences of not living in the moment. Check the reason why the Indian Billionaire gave such a strong statement.

Anand Mahindra reposted a video shared by an X user @HumansNoContext in which a huge crowd emerged to watch a light show and there was not a single person living in the moment as everyone was holding their mobile phones in their hand and capturing the event through their mobile cameras. Anand Mahindra captioned this video by writing “We are trapped in a cage of screens”
Possible Reasons Behind Mahindra’s Statement
Loss of real-life experiences
Excessive screen time can take away valuable moments for real-life experiences, interactions, and connections with others. This can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and missing out on the richness of real-world experiences.
Negative impact on health
Overdependence on screens has been linked to various health concerns, including sleep disturbances, headaches, eye strain, neck pain, and even depression and anxiety. The constant stimulation and blue light emitted from screens can disrupt natural sleep patterns and contribute to mental health issues.
Reduced mindfulness and attention
Overusing screens can lead to difficulties with focus, concentration, and multitasking. The constant influx of information and notifications can fragment our attention and make it harder to be present at the moment.
Comparison and self-esteem issues
Social media, a major component of screen time, is often filled with curated and idealized images, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem when comparing ourselves to others online. This constant comparison can have a detrimental impact on mental health and well-being.
