My Opinion on the Matter

Technology seriously scares the shiitake mushrooms outta me.
You can walk down the street, and see artificial life waves behind glossy eyes. You can practically hear them thinking about what they’re going to do on the computer when they get home, or what video game they’re going to go play.

What happened to all the damn children playing out in their front yards?! What happened to empty cardboard boxes being the best thing you could possibly get?!

Now you’ve got television sets teaching you your ABC ’s, and computer games showing you how to color inside the lines.

What happened to life?
