e-contagious?
Here's some food for thought...
It is well known and widely accepted that to stay healthy and avoid getting sick one has to avoid being around sick people, yet at the same time every little sickness we get like flu, cold, cough, etc. Makes us a little stronger and impervious to a similar strain of the sickness we recovered from.
But what about being infected through the internet?
Sounds crazy... right?
I mean, that would be like saying people can get sick for watching tv, watching the news, hearing the weather report or news about some sick people on the other side of the world...
Yeah... crazy talk...
But let me put it this way...
Every time, every hour, every day we spend on the internet we are usually in contact with people in real time in other parts of the country or the world, keyword here being 'contact'.
How often do we hear those people on the other side of the world are sick with something as simple as a flu or cold, and we are also at the same time sick, we were sick a few days ago, or we grow sick a few days later?
My theory is this...
We use equipment to send and receive data... data is nothing more than atoms, electrons and pulses of energy traveling back and forth through wires of copper, they are received and seen by someone else and interpreted by the senses of the recipient...
So in a way, we do are receiving data that is taken by the body... now why would someone get sick of such data? Well, in the electronic age very few people do not have any medium to send a part of yourself... we send voice... video... images... and those would be embedded with a piece of ourselves... call it aura... call it scent... call it whatever you want, but it is a signature of ourselves being transmitted through the wires long distances.
So a friend receives that data... and voilà!
He gets sick as his/her body detects and reads that data that comes from the wires... it enters the eyes… The ears... sensitive places... and a few days later you are sick.
Sounds too far-fetched?
Maybe a little... yes...
