Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It never ceases to amaze me how people can spend 4-5 hours on the internet looking and editting photos, being on blogs, playing games, talking to other people via messaging, debating through message boards, watching videos, etc… all while there is company with you physically there. Yet we now live in a society where having a screen in front of you constantly is normal. And yes, I know, I have a screen in front of me now as I write, but to be honest, I’m only online cause I write, research subjects, or catching up with the media, instead of being glued to it ALL FUCKING DAY. Nobody ever seems to have a game night, yet they see one on tv, and say, “we should do that!”, or see a place online they want to visit but they never can seem to find the energy to get their ass up and do something.
The internet kills lives, and I say that cause you think about it, do you visit people as much as you used to since Facebook became mainstream? Or do you just look up their page to see a recent status, “like” it, and move on? Do you go out to the movies as much with friends, or do you find a torrent and download that shit? Do you have a peraon in the room that you love hanging out with so much, that your eyes are glued to the screen or on them? Be real. It’s killed all social fun.Tell me right now you’re not in the confines of your bedroom, and kind of agreeing with me. So… do something about it. GTFO, and that last O is for outside. And for those of you that just came home from something, then that comment wasn’t ment for you.
4-5 hours on the internet isn’t a pastime, it’s an addiction, and obsession where you constantly ask themselves when is the next time they’re going to be in front of a screen. It’s sad. It’s pathetic. And it’s destroying me. And one day I’ll be compounded to nothing but dust and will thankfully be free of the internet. And that’s such a gloomy thought, that death will equal out to freedom from the world wide web.
