SMART PHONES....STUPID PEOPLE!

Its all about social media ......does everything have to revolve around social media. In street lingo, that's what we refer to as 'kukosa form'. What happened to the good old days when everything was more practical than sci-fi??? Sometimes, I envy my folks and how easy it was to maneuver with regards to relationships and 'kukatiana'. Instead of buying bundles to log in to #IG,Whats app, Facebook or twitter, all you had to do was go down to the stream and wait for that particular girl you have been eying to make her way to the stream. All you were required to do is 'kukula vector' till she showed up...now back to the fact this is the so called 'digital generation' and if you do have a presence in social media you are probably the extinct lot.

 It is so bad such that our folks are now turning to their kids t help them enlist in the various social media platforms in order to blend in or be the cool parents!! Really, is it just me or does the idea of tagging your father in a photo on Facebook of you having a good time with your pals just sound weird!! Okay, call me old school and all but truth be told... the very idea of chatting with your old man on whats app is just bizarre and is not bridging any gap for that matter! 

Surely i wish that phones and other digital era gadgets hadn't been invented. Why? The social platforms created by these so called gadgets are either being misused or abused by the subscribers themselves. Whats' more is that even the showbiz industries (Music/Film/Television) are making these gadgets seem so cool and keep reminding us how 'not cool' we will be without them! The popularity is driven by the fact that users become addicted to their gadgets after some time. And who thought that phones, i pads and stuff like that could become addictive?? Ask me....call me Mr. 'Been there, Done that'. From underage kids, to campus students and the latest entry ..wait for it....Parents!!! 'Hatuezi ishi ivi'.

Not so long ago, my folks used to think that social media was only used by socialites, and was therefore deemed a 'no go zone' for us. But now...behold the 'Battle of The Titans' between us and our folks of who has the most likes on I.G or Facebook!! During all this, we seem to be forgetting one very important aspect of how social media has affected our relationships with family and friends. Our social lives have gone to the ruins! Think  am lying? I dare you if you know someone with a huge following on social media to go out and ask out a random girl....face to face!!!

 I REST MY CASE!
