Technology has managed to kill the social question and reduced the chances of stumbling upon one thing in search for another.
You might think we'd be more closely connected, but I think we're more disconnected than ever. We have communication without community.
We care more about how we appear than how we are never realizing that anyone who looked beyond the surface would see that we appear exactly as we are.
We spend hours learning about strangers and sit silently with those around us.
We might live more of our lives if we could stop documenting every moment of them, but when our own lives become too tiresome the lives of others will suffice as entertainment.
We have falsely inflated egos and senses of self esteem and we provide the same disservice to others.
We are obsessed with celebrities that have achieved nothing actually worth celebrating and somehow believe that recognizability equates to credibility.
We have become too overwhelmed to face the problems of our own world l because we are consumed with the problems of the world, people we don't know and never will.
We cannot see the what is before us because we are so consumed with looking at what was behind us...
Remembering when we took that selfie... and another...
and another...
and another.
