Like computers, we, as humans have also evolved. From fashion, to music, to personalities and the computer has evolved with us. Becoming more “hands-free”, easier to use, smarter, but it seems that with the cultural rise of computers and technology, our social intelligence as a society seems to decrease. Children spend more time on computers and tablets than they do outdoors. Teens spend more time looking down at their phones than communicating face to face or observing the world around them causing deformities in the spine and neck. Adults spend more time sitting in front of computers in an office cubicle than they do interacting, walking, or filing documents. Everything is at our fingertips and there's no reason to ever go back. We have become a generation of lazy people. But with that said, that is not every individual. There are people who use this technological rise to their advantage, connecting more with friends far away, building a life around these advancements, creating better lives for people who are having a hard time living. Fitness apps, money apps, tracker apps, social apps. We are in a culture of the future. We are in a society of sharing selfies more than sharing conversations and adults thinking that teens can't amount to much anymore because we have embraced this change. This change of no longer being close knit communities held together by neighbourly hellos and comforting reassurances. It no longer takes a village to raise a child because children are raising themselves. Retaliating, standing alone and acting out, with parents not having a strong enough backbone to put their foot down. We have stopped caring what adolescence do with their free time, and letting themselves destroy their futures. We are so caught up with tweets, likes, loves, shares, pins, reposts and vines that no one can see beyond what is in front of their face. We have come to a point where homeless are forgotten, the dead never remembered (except for national holidays of course). Where war is just a news headline not affecting us. Where poverty doesn't really exist until you're living in it. Where accidents are full of drunk drivers and texting behind the wheel. We are in a world of denial, self hate, and social disconnection. But that all just comes with the property of evolution and change.
