World of Grey

               It's a pleasant day to wake up, check your phone,  scroll through your Facebook account, and basically spend the totality of your daily hours sitting and staring at any screen in sight. This is how a conventional day is spent in the 21st century. Millions of teenagers are practically impossible to converse with, as they are preoccupied with something online.
               Our generation is defined by its technology. We live in a world where people practically use something as a cure for boredom or a tool for absorbing and sending information. As easy as it gets, people receive information every day, but are still unaware of the gap it's making in interpersonal physical interaction. We sometimes talk to other people as if we have something better to do, and bond together just to experience everyone checking their mobile devices every once in a while. We thrive in these so called "social networks",  where we could see cropped faces, talk to suspicious strangers, and legally stalk other people. The scary part is accepting the fact that this is already a "form" of entertainment and a known activity to kill time.
                This would give birth to a world where emotions and feelings are trivial and in a sense, mundane. In time, we'd not see entertainment as a social event, but a favorable stimulation of our senses and an unnecessary exchange of colorless dialog.
