Society has turned us into impatient zombies. We need immediate response to things (e-mails, phone calls, text messages). What ever happened to actual face time with people? We as a society have forgotten that the Internet is a tool to help get information and communication to other people in a quicker fashion. The part they forget is "tool". It is not something that we should have connected with us at all times.
If I am choosing to spend time with you, DO NOT sit there and text message other people. DO NOT talk to me on the phone from a bathroom stall. DO NOT sit in a movie theater reading your e-mail on a damn phone during the movie (You may not be talking, but the theater is dark for a reason and your fucking phone is lighting up the whole damn theater).
Where the hell have we gone wrong? And what is up with these people that have the damn phone attachments stuck in their ear ALL THE TIME? Are you that important that you can just zip in on a phone call any second?
I am not perfect. I am a part of this society. I do similar things with my technology. I sit alone at a bar and would rather play with my phone than talk to strangers. I sit in coffee shops reading books with my earphones on and shut myself off from the rest of the world. There was a time when people actually went to coffee shops to socialize. Now... everyone sits there with headphones on while reading or studying.
This whole world needs one massive REBOOT to set everything straight.
