Electronic devices control peoples' lives
It´s incredible how these devices control people. I just came from the clinic and there were like about* 10 or 12 persons waiting for their medical check up. This was a long short** hall and every single person had their faces in cell phones, even a family that which didn't seem to be using a new and fancy cellphone like everyone else - maybe they were just using it to make themselves feel like part of the group.
What really caught my attention, however, was that, when someone came out of the doctor´s room and said "bye and goodnight" everyone just replied "goodnight, bye" without seeing that person's face, like robots.
Woow! It made me really think about that we are going in the wrong way, and immediately a song came to my mind which says "in the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive.They may find. You won't need your eyes, Your arms are hanging limp at your sides Your legs got nothing to do. Some machine is doing that for you" I think it will be this way, and I'm so sad about it...
*lots of people use "like" in this context, but it's informal usage
** Which is it? Long or short? Long and short are opposites. Did you mean a "long, narrow hallway"?
