Do you sometimes wonder why

Our heads are in our phones so much?

I think it’s because our phones connect us to the world at large

We can write a friend who lives across the country

We can read the news, local and international 

We can check our bank account

We can write a poem in the waiting room and share it with our friends

The amount of communication open to us and the speed is mind boggling

Too much information sometimes?

Too many dog and cat videos?

Too influenced by influencers? 

Yes, there are those things too

Although dog videos are so cute 

We live in a world of instant communication 

We can plan events in a group on WhatsApp and Messenger 

We can find friends we haven’t seen for years

We can travel to many countries without going anywhere

We can have all our questions answered

We can solve our problems with YouTube videos

And I haven’t mentioned AI yet

What did we used to do without the internet?
