The dirty side of the smartphone revolution

Everybody has a smartphone and uses it everywhere. I literally mean everywhere including the bathroom. We are sitting there checking our social media accounts while sitting there doing our business. I know this sounds disgusting to some of you, but those of you who never did a thing like that can proceed to the next article anyway. You are not affected by this article

Our disgust for our own body and all that comes in and out of it has been increasing over the last few thousand years by a lot. This was a healthy thing up to a certain point. In the last century it has become too much, like a paranoia. You actually enjoy entering a room without any form of life whatsoever and instead poisened with all sorts of completely unnatural substances. Not the tiniest bacteria around in the whole room. Don't you see how absurd this is, to feel safe in an area which is as dead as the moon itself?

But the smartphone saves us here. Since we take it with us right into the deadest deserts of our homes it surrounds us by a healthy cloud consisting of a complete backup of our own private microbiological fingerprint.

There are dangorous pathogens around. But if you are afraid too much of them you make it worse. We have to allow the world to teach us und we should gladly accept it.
