Because of Phasebook, smart phones, and suchlike, people act very strange in 2014. They pay lots of attention to people they dislike and never talk to. People casually know the goings-on of even distant acquantances they never talk to. They compulsively addictively check their pocket-sized cancer-generation device, devoid of any actual individual personality or ability to think abstractly. They check a user-regulated encyclopedia for factoids they'll forget in 2 minutes, just because it's convenient. They get jealous and hide things from their procreation partners, sowing distruct between both parties, so much that they don't trust each other enough to respect each others' individual privacy. People focus on taking a picture of a moment to reflect on later and add to some collection to show off to others, instead of simply enjoying that moment right now. People are losing themselves to a mass mind. Individual identity is being weeded out. Brains online instead of on-mind. Smart phones instead of smart people.
I'm so glad I don't have a smart phone to make me look stupid.
