RE: Our Children Are Becoming Electrified Zombies.

Great post Mark. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I definitely agree with the points you make about technology like not-so-smart phones, tablets and other electronic distractions and how they disconnect us from EVERYTHING around us under the guise of giving us freedom. (Btw I believe they're called tablets because they are meant to treat a symptom)

Freedom from what I ask though? Freedom from the outside world, from a natural existence, from greater connectivity and interaction with the living world around us? We use these things, beLIEving these tools will bring the world and everything in it to us filled with a wealth of knowledge. But all it inevitably brings is a deluge of falsehoods, mistruths, unquantifiable expert facts and the rest is often hollow.

So I agree that we should understand it but stop letting it understand us. We may need technology but can we allow a world where we are slaves to it?

Thank you @alioops for this well thought out comment. Tablets, beLIEve :) love it.

So true, I have the feeling Google knows more about me than I do :l
But on the other hand we have taken big steps towards freedom, and are now living in a tinyhouse on our way to by a little plot of land to grow our food as we refused to 'standunder' and consent.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on this post.

You are most welcome. There was no hardship, it was a great post.

I'm loving your 'standunder' and consent statement. 😁😄 I am very sure you're very right about our "friends" in the alphabet agencies knowing more about than we know ourselves.

But not all knowledge is power

They can know whatever they wish to know about me. It will not restrict my desire to leave the toxic, corrupt state behind.

I hope we get to see your green garden grow?!

P.S. Sorry, I could've gone on with those emotes.
