The era of hyperconnected humans conquering match
With the premise of making the transition from school much easier to college and with it the way of interacting a young man, Tinder arrived. And over time what was initially aimed at a specific target was almost, globalizing, like everything that succeeds. One of the many factors that I have been successful for this application was the simplicity and immediacy of its use and how this application works? Well very easy, you put your best photos or if you want you register with your Facebook profile, which guarantees that other people who see your profile can almost confirm the authenticity of your data. Then you determine the distance or the radius in which you want to find people, the age range that interests you, sex, you also find 500 characters to write a brief description of you, your interests or whatever you want, and that this all.
The next step is even easier, you will begin to appear profiles of people who are in the distance range you selected and you will only have to choose your choice, as a magazine catalog, in which you pass the sheet when something does notYou are interested, only that Swipear (sliding your finger towards a direction) to the left or giving it equis, means that you are not interested and swipe on the right or give it heart means that you are interested or that it enters within your approval parameters, also alsoThere is an option called "Super Like" and is represented iconically with a star, which basically means that the person you are going to give super like or gave you, complies with absolutely all its approval parameters and wants to emphasize that interestit’s too much.
Thus, if the attraction is mutual and the two people have swipe to the right or have given heart or super like a chat will open immediately, and that is all easy, its use is its use. The application undoubtedly accelerates the process of knowing someone and increases the opportunities to know different people, not to mention the probability that you find many people related to you, because as I mentioned above it is basically a catalog where you will find and choose yourpreference. There is no limitation or conditions of use, not even a generational border, because there is a meeting point between many generations and people of all ages when using this platform, it should be clarified that use is much more frequent among theyouths.
In this platform there is only one form of interaction, and at this point the preferences are very divided, there are those who use it for casual meetings, to which they arrived in two ways, one was speaking for weeks, for reasons of minimizing the risks orThose who simply dare to see each other after a few hours or minutes of conversation, and thus give way to what we call casual encounters. There are also those who enter the application to seek a serious or "stable" relationship, which in my opinion may find it, or there may be not long to realize that they are in the wrong place, also those who seek casual sex,or who, like me, made friendships that until today they retain.
Social networks are a relatively new phenomenon and its boom has been lived in recent decades. Even so, these are a phenomenon that, to this point, has been widely defined. For example, for Martínez (2010) social networks “are forms of social interaction, such as a dynamic exchange between people, groups and institutions in complexity contexts. An open and permanent construction system that involves sets that are identified in the same needs and problems and that are organized to enhance their resources ”. This phenomenon has also been defined as “a service that allows any individual to build a public or private profile (based on certain preferences) within a delimited system and articulate this with the preferences of another user to generate connections that allow to enter personal relationships.
Personal relationships that Bauman (2010) defines them as “the fragility of links, being that fragility that inspires feelings of insecurity and conflicting desires to strengthen ties, but at the same time, they must be weak to be able to discourage them. Contemporary men are desperate to relate, however, the distrust of a permanent relationship prevails. For modern men, the long -term commitment of relationships is a trap, an overload that should be avoided, looking for lax and light relationships ”
Tinder in my opinion, is a living example of the technological revolution and the time change that we are living. We have become digital natives and many others in digital immigrants, in hyperconnected beings immersed in technology, which often it is difficult for us to distinguish between the online world and the world offline. We have grown … and much others have simply had to adapt to the innumerable technological advances, to the many forms of consumption to which they submit, and of course, to the unlimited access of information, thus becoming multitasking beings, which we are going to a thousandFor life and that is why as "solution" we present "easy and fast" platforms such as Tinder.
And of course, everything that today gives us instant solutions quickly becomes "must have" (indispensable), which in my opinion is really worrying, because hyperconnectivity has come to change absolutely all aspects of human lifeand "modernize them" of course … has changed from the way we communicate, have fun, interact, work, buy, we learn to the way we fall in love and that is that the technological revolution of which we are being spectators and at the same time protagonistsHe is leading to put aside all those practices that not many years ago were still present in all of us, the conquest facing, day after day, the letters, the long conversations face to face, of course. Make market in the square because today it is very common to make market through applications that take you to the door of your house. The ones to the park or to walk somewhere, because today sedentary lifestyle and the innumerable electronic devices are more present than we believe, and do not release them or not let them go … among many other practices that have been extinguished in our face, practices that practices thatThey have their magic and although they may demand a little more time, they disconnect you, which curiously is all we sometimes need.
Something is very true, and that is that the exponential change in which we are immersed will not stop, on the contrary, it is impressive the way in which everything takes place, in which things change and transform, and with it we. I am aware of the accelerated step to which we have touched us, because it is enough to look at the grandfather using WhatsApp or sending voice notes, but I also consider that there are practices and actions that must be lost or replaced by more evolution or transformation than we are beingParticipate, because it is those same practices of yesteryear, those that make us human, which make us feel and differentiate us from those inert beings we call today robots.
