Need to poop, where’s my phone? 

Unknowingly perhaps,  but we have been so ignorant of the fact that somehow we have managed to give out and out control of our minds to the screens in front of us. 
Every time you wake up in the morning before opening your eyes your hands search for your phone and what comes next?  After a quick glance at the long list of notifications you toggle hurriedly to your messengers to scroll through hundreds of unread messages. 

Forget about normal times when a person might indulge into burying ones self into their phones just to avoid people around them,  you have carry them to the toilet when you take a dump! All you want to do is scroll scroll scroll! 

If you are among them try avoiding taking your phone in with you and I am sure you won’t come out with a smile. 

It amazes me how can people with a gut wrenching hunger can first click a zillion images of their plates and instagram that with a dozen hashtags and then eat!

Makes me imagine things. Things like a lady holding a phone between her neck and shoulders while on the wheel, crashes in on a truck gets down, takes her purse out puts on some lip gloss, brushes her hair,  bats eyelashes, clicks a selfie, hash tag #dying #lol , then a hiccup, and dies. And the phone says upload to facebook successful. 
If millenials were to run the world then I am damn sure the Statue of liberty 🗽 would be holding an iPad in her left hand and a phone in the right trying to get a signal.  Redeemer Jesus in Brazil would have freshly untangled headphones between those hands spread out wide and instead of meditating Buddha would be lying down belly first, knees bent,  holding his phone, resting his elbows on the floor ‘meditating’ on the latest MMORPG! 

Imagine a world where all of a sudden your Wi-Fi stops working.( I know you might have had a mini heart-attack by just imagining that; and you might have stolen a glance if the 4 curved lines on the signal were still there.)

But yes go on and imagine if that happens and you would sit and wonder what the hell should you do in life to find another purpose. You might notice a pet or parents or a spouse sitting beside you cluelessly staring back at you and you say.  Woah! Who the hell are you?  Cuz the last time you saw them was on facebook or twitter in a heavily edited Image that barely looks the same. 

This has indeed happened to you when you tinder find someone you like and when you meet up they are such a great parody version of themselves. Hashtag #noedit. WTF does that mean? You get an accidental image that you think is good and boast about you being less ugly? Then the joke is on you mate. The real you is on the drivers license and not on your profile picture! 

We have started feeling cold if our phone says it’s cold outside.  We mindlessly intake such huge amount of useless trivia data that no one cares about. 

Think if you really needed to see all those Satisfying videos, cat videos and useless DIYs all day long?  Even you know you are never gonna make you own DIY  partywear form an old shirt! 
Our race has evolved into what we are today because we have been enjoying the boon of free will.  Which somehow is depleting day by day. Based on our previous search history search engines keep us busy with redundant data and that in turn sculpts our behavior. Making us mere followers of things that dont matter. 

Get rid of that phone once in a while, take a walk, smile at a random child, help out someone in need,  get a life.
