AcknowledgeMe App
-
“All I want is half a lonely soul to make me whole. That’s all it takes, a simple little twist of fate. A little spark, some strength to keep your heart from breaking. Everybody needs someone.”
Obviously, loneliness and depression are not exclusive to this group. This group, however, is the first generation to be completely raised during a fully functioning and developed Internet. Cell phones and all. It is interesting to point out that those in this group are the most interconnected generation ever and happen to be the most lonely. They are also the first generation to come of age with the Internet as well as with one of America’s highest rate of divorce. According to the American Psychological Association, approximately
40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60-67% of second marriages ending in divorce. This perfect storm is single-handedly destroying the next generation of America.
We as a nation can not move into the future with millions of Americans socially maladjusted and emotionally broken. In the next 10-20 years, the baton of leadership will be passed on to them. What we do to help them today will determine what direction this nation will go and what position we will take in an ever more competitive world.
AcknowledgeMe is the solution. AcknowledgeMe understands that we live in a world where our youth spend more time on the Internet than with family. We are an App that can be downloaded to any person who needs someone to turn to during times of emotional distress. Especially those that are of school age where the social pressures are even more challenging. AcknowledgeMe is a non-profit company using a combination of the latest artificial intelligence software and actual therapists ready to assist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the tap of a finger or voice prompt to an App on any cell phone. Imagine how many lives can be saved and how many lives can be changed with an easily accessible intervention.
AcknowledgeMe is aware that not all youth of today are at ease speaking with people right away. If they wish, they can create their own avatar that they can relate to. Whether it be a man, a woman or any gender that establishes the most comfortability. With complete privacy, a personal issue can be discussed immediately and given the proper needed attention preventing further trauma or tragedy. Schools can even recommend that the AcknowledgeMe App be downloaded to every cell phone of students registering for classes.
Clearly, it is our broken family structure and the Internet that has isolated so many of us, leaving us unfulfilled on several levels. It will also take our most caring therapists along with technology to come to the aid of those in need and rescue the soul of America. After all, the most important part of any rewarding communication is not only to be heard but to also be acknowledged.
