The World of Screens

It looks like this world is starting to become a world of screens.  It seems like that most of our waking hours, we are exposed to some type of interactive screen or box in some shape or form.  It is very rare where you are not exposed to the screen world and not the natural world.

I am part of the "screen addiction" as well and I seen people around, they are looking at screens and interacting with screens.  In the modern day of age, most of work involves some type of screen such as a computer or a cell phone, tablet, etc.  I am an exception where I have to sweep the floor at Wal Mart, but even with sweeping the floor at Wal Mart involves checking my hours by looking at a screen along with checking the duties for my day.  Most of my homework involves a screen and it seems like a lot of my entertainment and social life involves a screen.  We are in a screen society and it seems like we are starting to get pretty weird with this "screen" world.

I listen to music on a iPod which uses a screen and some headphones, I am typing this blog on a computer which involves a screen, and I am probably going to do other activities such as watch TV with a screen.  There are very few times where I am not exposed to the screen world and it seems like I am now attached to the screen world again.

I have a feeling that the screen world is an escape from reality.  We don't want to see what is in front of us or even interact with things in front of us, so we depend on the screen.  The internet is the place to do just about anything and it is an endless supply of information, games, cats, and dirty pictures.  But it seems like I am attached to that screen.

The screen is stimulation and you don't have to have anything in the room to stimulate. You can sit in a empty room and then be exposed to some world  with a box.  We are exposed to the technological world at a very young age and it seems like most of technology is confined to a screen.

We are not in the world - we are in our own worlds and it seems like this might even confine with the new dimension we are entering, according to the Mayans.  It looks like we are starting to have an addiction to screen and that addiction is starting to increase more and more.  Welcome to the screen world.
