Technological Zombies

Sadly, I’ve watched, as my younger brother has become a zombie to his iPhone. That little mobile device seems to take up all his attention when he’s not engaged in some form of activity. If he’s in a room and not talking to someone, his eyeballs are glued to the little white glowing screen. That can’t be healthy. It’s for sure not healthy on the psychological relationship level. Instead of talking to his siblings or his friends, he just sits quietly and doodles with Instagram and Facebook. Not to mention all the pointless games that kill his brain cells every time he plays them. I don’t mean to harp on my younger brother, because he’s honestly a stud. The problem is that all young men are like this. I know way to many middle school age kids that waste a whole lot of their time on their cell phones. Truth is, these devices are no longer even cell phones. They’re little computers, with social media running rampant on them. Technology is overwhelming our society, and I’m not sure what’s going to stop it. It really must be the end of the world. Hopefully people will catch on and will start to desire a return to normalcy, and will involve themselves once more in the valuable human relationships that once were.
