TouchScreen

"It used to be hard to connect when friends formed clicks, but now it's even more difficult now that clicks form friends."

Nelson showed this great video in class "TouchScreen" I think that most everyone thought that it was a good poem, and might have given it a "Amen" or even a "hell yeah" in class but then returned to that same insta-crap world as before. I bet you don't even remember who said it. 

Technology can make a great servant but a bad master. 

Many lives are mastered by technology. Wasn't the point of the poem to show us how our lives are dominated by technology and how each waking moment is spent on instagram. Our world is dominated by facebook, porn, videogames, and the internet, and showing off what cool thing we're doing, and how many likes we get. I find it weird that T.V. shows these days sell more sex than a frickin Viagra commercial. I went to see Divergent a while back and mostly 14 year old girls were in attendance there, but in the middle of the movie the dude starts un-zipping her clothes and I say out loud so the whole movie theater can hear "Oh No not again" and everyone laughed, but continued to watch it. I've heard many a time "walk out of a movie if it gets bad", but in a theater of all Mormons no one moved an frickin muscle. I myself ashamedly sat there still, to watch the rest of the worst movie ever made, when I could have frickin walked out.  I hate phones with passion and yet I still have one, maybe it's not that phones are the problem but that we are. I deleted the social shit off my phone and guess what I have hours of unused time and doing cool things that don't go on instagram. Put your frickin phones away. people lived without them for 6000 years I bet you could live without it for a day.
