Can We Auto-Correct Humanity? |
| Did you know the average person spends 4 years of his life looking down at his |
| cell phone? |
| Kind of ironic, ain’t it? |
| How these touch-screens can make us lose touch |
| But it’s no wonder in a world filled with iMac’s, iPads and iPhones |
| So many «i"'s, so many selfies, not enough «us"'s and «we"'s |
| See, technology |
| Has made us more selfish and separate than ever |
| Cause while it claims to connect us, connection has gotten no better |
| And let me must express first |
| An anti-social network |
| Cause while we may have big friend lists |
| So many of us are friendless |
| All alone |
| Cause friendships and more broken than the screens on our very phones |
| We sit at home on our computers measuring self-worth by numbers of followers |
| and likes |
| Ignoring those who actually love us |
| It seems we’d rather write |
| An angry post than talk to someone who might actually hug us |
| Am I bugging? |
| You tell me |
| Cause I asked a friend the other day, «Let's meet up face to face.» |
| And said, «Alright. |
| What time you wanna Skype?» |
| I responded with omg, srs, and then a bunch of smh’s |
| And realized what about me? |
| Do I not have the patience to have conversation without abbreviation? |
| This is the generation of media over stimulation |
| Chats have been reduced to snaps |
| The news is 140 characters |
| Videos are 6 seconds at high speed |
| And you wonder why ADD is on the rise faster than 4G LTE |
| But, get a load of this |
| Studies show the attention span of the average adult today |
| Is one second lower than that of a gold fish |
| So if, you’re one of the few people or aquatic animals that have yet to click |
| off or close this video, congratulations |
| Let me finish by saying you do have a choice, yes |
| But this one my friends we cannot Auto-Correct — we must do it ourselves |
| Take control or be controlled, Make a decision |
| Me? |
| No longer do I want to spoil a precious moment by recording it with a phone |
| I’m just gonna keep them |
| I don’t wanna take a picture of all my meals anymore — I 'm just gonna eat them |
| I don’t want the new app, the new software, or the new update |
| And If I wanna post an old photo, who says I have to wait until Thursday |
| I’m so tired of performing in the pageantry of vanity |
| And conforming to this accepted form of digital insanity |
| Call me crazy but, I imagine a world where we smile when we have low batteries |
| Cause that will mean we’ll be one bar closer — to humanity |
