The Black Mirror

I have been, blessed or cursed for the past two months. My mobile, smart phone broke down and my laptop wasnt functioning to its best of best capabilities. So I was living with minimal interaction to the online world. With a black mirror facing me at all times.

This does not mean that I still did my best to spend at least 2-3 hours a day on Facebook and gmail replying and promoting events. But today, today I got my phone for the first time. And I think a lot of you realized by the messages spamming across my twitter account, people being called, updates coming on Facebook. The first time I walked to University for two months and did not look where I was walking, the first Time I took out my phone while waiting for a meeting and talked to the phone not to the people around me. The first time that I took a selfi. The first time that looked up something on Google on the spot. The first time that I emailed someone asap. The first time I snapped chatted. The first time I did read the news as it happened. The first time I heard of what was going on instantly.

The the battery went out, just after 3 hours of using my phone, it burning red hot in my hands form it being over used. It was like a drug addict falling right back into his addiction, it was like someone, who took a small breath from sprinting and then realized when he started again, he wasn't used to take a break. It was a shock. I WAS SHOCKED.

Why. well I did not realize I was so attached to the internet as I was, I did not understand or believe someone would need the internet so much in their life. I did not believe how much the world is different, I did not look for and write poems in my head anymore, I speak them out loud to the world around me.

However, my short break from the sprint that my life is has stopped. I need to get back sprinting, if I am to do anything as close to the efficiency that I need. When every minute of my day is planned ahead 2-3 weeks before, when I decide what I need to do and how I need to do it. When I always am tring to do the best thing possible for those around me.

Is this me being sad about how the world has become. No not at all, this world has its beauty in its own self. Its just a small reflection on what has occurred in this world and how much we changed our habits and actions. How we live in a different state of mind and being. This I find to be extremely intriguing and just simply amazing that we have altered our life styles so much. I think what will happen in just five years.
