I can't stand it. It makes me want to die just watching people live like this and knowing that 20 yrs ago it wasn't like this.
I don't remember the before. I was a kid. I had a Gameboy but I don't remember what adults did.It used to bother me but I realized that people now still feel as strange being outside and around people as they did when they had nothing to look down at. Was it newspapers then? A magazine? Did people stand around looking at their hands? Did they fidget in line and stare at the ground when they walked anywhere?
I feel like cell phones allow people to feel strange and awkward and to escape those feelings. Like they have a pocket filled with a placebo and it makes them feel a little better here and there. I don't blame them for wanting to feel a little better.
The world is strange and it's awkward and so many people are just trying to spend time and get through the seconds and the minutes and the hours day to day. Let them feel joy in something. It's funny to think that so many people were lonely at home before the radio and then the TV became a normal part of their lives.
Cell phones are just the radios and TVs that ease that loneliness. Times change but people? Not really.
