Is sharing life in real time with friends and family healthy?

with the current technology found in the most diverse digital devices, such as tablets, notebooks, cell phones and others, it became possible to share our location in real time with friends and relatives. The measure can be adopted so that they can know if we arrived safely at home, at the destination or similar information.

However, a debate about how important our privacy is arises with the measure. Sharing so much of our life can bring some risks.

As informed by the doctor in psychology Cristiano Nabuco de Abreu to the Terra website, the human brain sets limits to deal with information in real time, and acquire the habit to always live with instantaneous information, on different subjects and practically at any time, is a practice that must be avoided.

This is because, in real day-to-day life, we have a few moments in which the brain processes information and transforms it from primitive emotions to more balanced and rational thoughts. However, in digital life, this process is broken, leading individuals to more unbalanced and impulsive decisions. According to Nabuco de Abreu, “all this movement is very deleterious for human development and emotional balance”.

An application called Life360 was created to share the location of users in real time, in order to let family members and close friends know their location. It can be very useful for parents to monitor where their children are.

However, recently, lightning kidnappings have increased in the main capitals of the country, using extortion through payments by Pix, as well as reports of sexual assaults and kidnappings carried out in transport made by app also occurred with frequency.

Therefore, the important thing is to assess with whom this information is shared and whether it is really necessary to adopt this type of measure, since, if the person with whom the location has been shared is robbed or stolen, the criminal can have access to his location in real time, which can lead to situations of danger.
