The Era of Smartphone Zombies

I simply cannot tell of a more "sheeple" generation than the one which exist today. We live in an era dominated by distraction and complete indiscipline and ballistic selfishness. People seem to care about how they look in a selfie than trying to assist someone begging for help. It is a shame how technology has turned us into walking Zombies, Smartphone Zombies that is. Here is a bit of challenge to you, simply go for a stroll somewhere or stop to have a cup of coffee at a coffee shop. Sit and examine your environment and you will notice these Zombies all over the place. Whatever they do it has to incorporate the use of their Smartphones. People today are so dumb and involve with their Smartphones that they have started to incriminate themselves by recording the crime they are about to commit or have committed on these devices. But aside from throwing their rotten zombie corpse behind bars, let's take a look at some sick things these smartphone zombies do on a daily basis.

These zombies are so dumb that they do not know what to do with a good fried chicken with kidney beans and rice with bar-b-cue sauce. Instead of sitting and letting their taste buds get lit, they pop out their smartphones and begin snapping and yapping away at their food. Pretty soon the internet is clogged with pictures of food that people are about to eat. Then they put up stupid post like, "Having Fried Chicken." Can you imagine having friends who waste your eyesight with constant stupid notifications which pop up endlessly on your phone? It will be pretty annoying at some point. So after they snap the picture of their chicken and send it to Bush, Bill, Obama and Trump, they simply take a small bite out of their meal and leave. How God damn wasteful!

Sometimes I see these idiots and I wish the crisis which was unfolding behind them would simply reach out and grab them by their zombie necks and draw them in. Where is the care? Where is the compassion or the interest in what is happening to other human beings? People are jumping out of burning buildings, screaming, calling for help and you are there taking a selfie with the crisis happening behind you. These Smartphone Zombies compassion is lower than Sheol. There are so many times some crisis could have ended well if they simply put down the Smartphone and commit their energy to give a helping hand.

There was this woman that entered a dining shop with her baby in a stroller. She ordered soup from the shop and sat down drinking her soup while messaging away on her smartphone. She sat there for 45 minutes all tangled up in the phone. The baby was sleeping so she did not pay much attention there. This lady stood up while her eyes still paste on her phone screen, went to the restroom while the baby was still in stroller and then after her 5 minute stint in the restroom she headed directly out the shop walking away with her eyes still glued in the phone, not remembering that she came in the shop with a human life other than her own. People saw what was happening and a guy ran outside and called out to her and told her she was leaving her baby! "Oh my God!" She shouted and hurried back inside to get her baby. All this time she did not put away the smartphone. She simply pushed the stroller outside, cuddled up the child and went right back to becoming a zombie.

Smartphone zombies are really unaware of their surroundings and may even walk off a precipice while sending an OMG! They walk with their eyes glued to their phones meanwhile their poor fingers beg for typing retirement. They step in manholes, get hit by cars, forget their children, bump into Lions and all other sort of negative things begin to happen when they are caught up in your phone and becomes totally unaware of your surroundings.

We all know that bullying is bad, but when you are bullied and you realize that instead of people backing you and confronting the bully, they simply pop out their Smartphones and begin to record the bullying session. Even though many times this helps indirectly because people will see the video and know that the person is a bully. But It would be much better to not post a person being humiliated by a bully all over the internet. It would be a hundred times better to put away that smartphone and stop the giggling and stand behind the person being bullied. By doing this you directly make the bully know that what he/she is doing is totally unacceptable. The person being bullied humiliation is not blasted worldwide and hence you provide direct upliftment and support for the "bullyee".

My friend, if you are in any accident, got stabbed or shot and is lying on the ground gaping in your own blood, you can be sure that a lot of people will come running to you. Yes, they will come running with their phones charged and ready to snap and video your life away. They will never lay a hand to help you. Some will stay silent while videoing your death, others will chat and even come for close up shots. They will video you until the last breath leavings your miserable wrinkled old body. They will video you until the ambulance reaches and pronounce you dead. But they will not put away their phones to help curtail the bleeding, they will not call the police or an ambulance, they will not carry you to the hospital, after all, doing those things do not get you "Likes, Shares, OMG's, LOL's and smiley faces.

Cellphones today are smart because they allow you to do much more computing than that of yester-year phones. They are sophisticated piece of devices which you should be in control of and not the other way around. My simple advise to those that have become Smartphone Zombies is that you need to be cured and I know the cure. if you ever decide to become human again, the cure is simple. Leave your phone alone.
