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.
