TAMAGOTCHI


TAMAGOTCHI

 

Human beings rarely change their behaviour courtesy of moral obligations and in the context of large and abstract concepts like climate change, research has found that there is a distancing of our responsibilities because of the lack of an emotional attachment to the subject. Tamagotchi? is a fiction based on an accountability mechanism that tries and provide an emotional attachment to large and abstract concepts. Studies have shown a correlation between internet and network dependency and mental health issues in the 21st century. Animal assisted therapy is often used to augment social interaction and alleviates some attachment issues.
