Technology.
So here are my typical uses of technology:
— Computer: So I usually use this device every day. Mostly for school though. If school nowadays weren’t online, I don’t think I would use the computer half as a much as I do.
— Television: I guess I watch television every other day, for the most part. Sometimes I will watch TV shows on my computer though, so … hmm.
— Cell phone: I use this every day. Mostly for reading emails and checking my horoscope, though. I detest talking on a phone, so I don’t use it for that.
— Car: This depends on my needs, really. I usually walk everywhere, but maybe two or three times a week, I’ll use my vehicle. I usually listen to my MP3 player while I’m driving, so I guess that counts as another technology too.
I would say with great conviction that I am addicted to none of these. In fact, I would love nothing more than to throw all of them out the window. I would too, except for the fact that school is nay impossible without internet access and/or a computer nowadays. Many days I will go without using my cell phone or turning on my computer just out of personal desire, provoking my friends to think I had died or gotten in a horrible accident, thoughts which make me laugh.
Not out of humor, but out of pity.
I’m sorry your external life is so meaningless and hollow that you funnel it into pixels and microprocessors. Because that’s what technology is. That friend request you just accepted doesn’t mean anything in the real world.
Technology sickens me.
