Technology has accelerated our lives, propelling humankind towards progress. But is this very technology silently leading us to our end? Many years ago, the enigmatic Bulgarian prophetess Baba Vanga issued a stark warning about precisely this danger.

She prophesied the arrival of a device in human hands that would speed up their lives, but simultaneously shorten their lifespan, slowly pushing them towards death. Her eerily accurate prediction regarding electronic devices is coming true word for word. The device she spoke of is none other than the modern smartphone.

The reality is becoming increasingly alarming. According to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) report, 24 percent of children in India scroll through their smartphones before going to sleep at night. Consequently, their sleep is disrupted, their mental connection is severed, leading to increased frustration and a loss of focus in studies.

The situation is no different for adults. Scrolling through the phone for hours, staying awake at night glued to the screen, feeling anxious when not on social media – these have become daily routines. Eye problems, neck pain, sleep disorders – all have arrived hand-in-hand with the smartphone.

From the young to the old, almost everyone is falling victim to premature blindness, neck and back ailments, insomnia, mental depression, and social isolation. Not only that, but family members are also drifting apart from each other. Baba Vanga’s ominous warning – this device will shorten human lifespan, bringing death closer – seems to be materializing. Is the smartphone truly humanity’s “silent killer,” quietly leading us towards our demise?
