Just got through watching Fallout T.V series. Due to a woman being the main character & every man in the story being either evil, weak, or stupid, it really showed me how far this downward spiral of our modern media has come. It really hurt the show for me and I can't in good conscience reccomend it to anyone except for massive fans of the games.

"It was the damn phones"

"I think our parents were right,
it was the damn phones.
We laughed when we were children, hearing it set snapgram and instachat and facetalk.
they didn't understand, they couldn't even say it right.
I thought I knew better than them.
They didn't know what it was like having a world to the tip of our fingers.
we scroll through so much, we have headlines tattooed in our skin.
wires for veins.
AI for a brain.
and they may not have understood, but they were right
it is the damn phones.
a drug in my pocket dependent on simulation.
but can we blame us?
we were but children when they were given
we didn't know how to stop it
if I divided up all the hours I spent on a screen, existential dread and regret would creep in.
so I ignore this fact by typing away
and it's not like I can throw away my phone
It's how we communicate.
its how we relax
it's the medicine that is surely making our souls die
I used to say I was born in the wrong generation
but I was mistaken
for do I not do everything I say I hate?
we used to be scared of robots gaining consciousness
a lie by the media companies to keep us distracted
as to not ourselves become conscious of the mess that they have created
we are the robots
we are the products
I think our parents were right......

It was the damn phones..."
