#4 A generation of zombies

We have the collected data of pretty much the entire world accessible in our hands with the use of smart phones. We use smart phones to do homework, talk across the world, navigate where you're going, among countless other things, but guess what we mainly use it for? Tap Titan

The entire purpose of the game in summary is to tap your phone... ALOT. Now don't get me wrong I'm guilty, I've downloaded and played it, it's strangely addicting I get it. The problem comes in when I noticed that I was at food truck Friday down the road from my house with a gathering of about eight friends, including my brother and girlfriend. While at food truck Friday, talking and having fun my hand was on my phone just tapping away while I did all this. Although I was engaged in the conversation and actively talking, half my concentration was on my phone, rudely glancing down at my phone every 15-30 seconds to update the game. This is when I noticed I was the same zombie as all those people I see in my classes or walking staring into their phones ignoring what's going on around them.

My Tap Titan was no different than the guy texting or the girl taking a snapchat every 15 steps to let her followers know how her walk is going between class or to her car. We unfortunately are a generation of zombies and it's only getting worse. Realizing I have been awaiting the zombie apocalypse since I first saw Dawn of the Dead, I am severely disappointed in the one we got. It is my plan to ensure that I am no longer one of these zombies and I ask you all to look at yourselves and ensure you're not a zombie and if you are, is it healthy? Is it worth it to watch your life through your phone camera or through Instagram and Facebook instead of living it in the moment?
