Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.

WARNING.

I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Here I give you a silly, light‑hearted glance into how an alien may view our preoccupation with said smartphones. It will read like a set of “instructions” for people who let their smartphones outsmart them. It keeps things whimsical, not at all judgmental - more like a trickster spirit nudging humans back toward common sense.

📱✨ “Instructions for Humans Who Think they are smart - but only to find out that - Their Phones Are Smarter Than They Are”. Or Vice Versa.

Step 1:

Before you bow to your smartphone...

Remember: it is just a rather complicated rectangle,

not a reincarnated ancestor with secrets hidden in secret places.

Nor is it a scholarly thing, with a PhD in Everything.

Step 2:

If you walk into a lamppost , because you were texting or sending an emoji,

please apologize to the lamppost. It was standing there long before you were even born.

Remember: the aliens watching may be having a good laugh, when you cross the street while peering into your phone and accidentally come in contact with Newton's Second Law ...(Force =mass x acceleration) and the transfer of kinetic energy (the store of energy of a moving object)...total force determined by vehicle's mass and speed.

Or when you drive while texting and end up sending the wrong texts to the wrong person. End of relationship, hurtful words and hopefully - not bodily harm!

Step 3:

When your phone autocorrects ,“on my way”, to "impotent walrus”,

do not panic.

This is simply the phone reminding you who the real trickster is.

And it's not you.

Step 4:

If you ask your phone for wisdom, and it gives you directions to a place you already are, take a breath. This is a sign that you should lead your own expedition.

Step 5:

Do not hurl your phone angrily at the wind when it freezes.

It is merely meditating...in tune with the wind.

Join it. You may surprise yourself.

Step 6:

When in doubt, use your ancient human powers: eyes, ears, intuition,

and that mysterious thing - called “thinking before doing.”

Final Instruction:

Remember:

the phone is “smart” , because humans built it.

So if you act silly, the phone is not to blame - it is only following

its slightly confused creator or user.

A spirit of glass may be clever, but a spirit of flesh should be wiser.

Use the cleverness, guard your wisdom.
