These damned communication devices called smart phones!!
Have you ever enter an elevator (or “descendator” 😀 ) and people inside instead of saying hello, smile, wait, look at each other eyes or probably encourage an small and minor chat they prefer to take out their cellphones from their pocket or bag (if not constantly on hand) and check the “activity” or what time is it?? (Because the watch on your wrist is not good for this). Have you been one of those persons?? Well, been there, done that. And I can tell you that you’ll never remember the time that you were checking on your device.
If you’ve ever taken out your cell phone under these conditions to avoid human interaction (applies to bus stop, standing in line at the bank, at the supermarket, at the movies, waiting at meetings, dinners…) this means that you are now part of The Matrix!

Yes, you are under control of The Matrix. “Your” technology owns you now, and you don’t know (you forgot) how to interact with human beings. Soon, you will forget the color of the sky or the taste of beer. You will only recognize the color of the ocean, the magnanimity of the mountains, and the beauty of your girlfriend in a photo on one of our (anti) social media.

But don’t worry we still have salvation (almost everyone). Just use your watch every time you want to see the time. Walk facing forward and smile to people. Say hi to the next stranger you come across the entrance to the supermarket. Enjoy the Sun on your face. Have a chat with your friends (not the virtual ones) and/or family. Enjoy the good times, and the bad ones also. You don’t need a picture, or selfie for every time you have pizza and hot wings (also you can ask someone to take you the picture if needed). And if after you do that and enjoy many of these things and more, and you still have time to look at your smartphone (is not smarter than you, well, probably the calculator) feel free to do it.

Congratulations!! You just took the red pill! And you’re back to wonderland! 😉 🙂 😀
