In today's world there are hundreds of gadgets we can use to accomplish the same thing, communicating. We have the world at our figure tips, we can communicate anytime, anywhere, pretty much any how right now.
With that said, is human to human contact becoming obsolete?
Most of my communicating is done through text. Lousy characters and integers manipulated to send and convey a message. Typing is so easy: you have anonymity in some cases, you can choose when you want to interact with that person again, and you have time to think and purposefully convey your message.
There is no question that this has raised the dating game, right or....has it sheltered us and conditioned us to a lesser degree of human connection or affection. If not less, at least different. Very different than allll of the time that preceeds us.
So we talk and we talk, we type and we type, we watch and we watch, and we ******g skype and we skype, have you ever stepped beside yourself while being in those modes? Stuck inside a ******g machine all day. The thing meant to emulate our brains is now feasting on it.
And the best part is, it owns us. We pay so much money for this **** and then their services and then extra money for them to cover us on some **** warranty. We keep buying phones and **** for them to break in two years.
We worry about the crap gov't here in the US, our spending of billions on some power tripping military, and don't for one second look at what we do with the money that we have when we do have it. We feed the greed.
For what? For them to have all of our information (Google is about to know how many times everyone's had sex here -for most of everyone here, i'd say 1-5 times), to keep us roped and controlled and to have us in debt.
And yet everyone in the world puts on a front most of the time. Pretends ****'s different, organize the world into the way they want it to be. They can drift off where ever they want to in virtual reality. It seems like emotion has withered away from the world and everyone is just meh about everyone else, just..meeehhhh.
but I guess everything that's was-was, is-is, and will be..whatever will be.
maybe being stuck inside a few machines ain't so bad, we'll keep on creating and grow exponentially, technology does well!
or
we become the game that's being played even more so than now.
