Technology is taking over

(Why I choose Nature over technology)

Technology is taking over. It's like Godzilla, unstoppable. People glued to their phones, eating while on their phone. Waking up and going straight to sitting on their phone for 30+ minutes. On their phone before they go to bed. Getting mad if you tell them to put their phone away(Especially in school). Even little kids being on their phone(You wonder why they are so mad).

I wonder what it was like back in the 90's. No one on their phone, at parties people actually sang, danced, and talked with each other(Instead of their phone).People knew their neighbors, knew how to have a conversation, knew how to not be bored (even if they were doing dumb shit). People hanging out all the time, laughing, touching grass.

I was raised differently, I was allowed to have a phone, but I couldn't go on it, couldn't have social media, or go on YouTube, ect. So my mom never had to tell me (The phones are the issue). But I've heard a lot of my old friends say 'my mom says it a lot'.

Doesn't it suck though. imagine your having a conversation with a friend, or on a date. Having a great time, laughing, enjoying living...or at least in the moment. And then they get a dam text message, in which stops the conversation, they check the phone, reads it, replies to it. And your just standing their like "Bitch you did not". -.- I know i'm not the only one. Its annoying, when your just standing their waiting for them to get off their phone. Its an addiction. These dam phones. Their like drugs. And what do they say about drugs? Yup. THEY ARE BAD FOR YOU. Phones give off radiation. Which say ' take time off your life'. Sum like that (Too lazy to search it up). And it seems like no one cares.

And now some dumb fuck decided, "HEY, lets add AI." FUCKING AI.

-Breathes-

People are now having conversation's with ai, likes it their friend....Even people are having relationship's. like when tf- Did I skip a generation? Like Hello? What happened to 'Hi, my name is (Fill in the blank), how are you. I talk to humans"

I have a feelings I grew up in the wrong generation, and its just getting worse. (But the right generation to watch solo leveling) People are getting dumber. Not focusing on school work, rather scrolling through social media all day. I mean hey....i likes phones for 2 reasons.

1. You can listen to music. All day. Whenever you want, wherever you want.

2. You can research anything if you need information about something, you like to call the pizza store when your too lazy to make dinner. ( lets be real)

Bonus- So I can post my business on Etsy to make money.

Technology is just getting worse, I mean ye it's cool, having a screen in your car in which you can tappity tap on it. But like, its taking over our lives. Have none of you watched Matrix....I mean some people these days dont even know who Michael Jackson is.......SINSE WHEN. Bro is a GOAT. I don't listen to his music and I know him. Talking about music. Who likes back in the day music? Music that was actually appropriate. Love songs that where actually about loving someone and not sex. Cuz now and days, people aint taking relationship's seriously. Thinks its all about jokes and bed, like Hi and bye. sorry- when did that become a trend-

Raise your standards ladies and gentlemen. And also be that standard someone is looking for.

Wake up, wake up, wake up. Fix yourself, get your shit together. Touch grass. Hug a tree. Make money and travel the world. Dont sit in bed and just scroll on tiktok. Delete tiktok for all I care. Focus on you, and focus on living, living is not scrolling mindlessly for hours and losing sleep. Was it worth it? Nope If you said yes, your lying to yourself. Lying to God. Wake. The. Fuck. Up. Life is not a joke. You are not a joke. You deserve to spend your life doing more. You dont think so? Then make yourself think so. God knows it. Stop being glued to a screen for no reason. They are possessing you.

So wake up. Now, not later. I always say, just because there's tomorrow, doesn't mean you cant do it today. So wake up. Fix yourself. Be that Woman, be than man, be better than yesterday.

Because sitting in bed and scrolling on your phone mindlessly, aint gonna get you your dream life.
