We're more important every day
All anybody wanted for Christmas was gadgets. Could anybody be cooler than when they're walkin' down the street looking at their phone? Kids are taking over households all over the world, their machines are boss. They play Minecraft and they run roughshod over their caring parents who have no say in anything any more. Call the police and report a violating laptop.

A prelude to an upcoming song of mine in 2016 that fits this thread. Cyberspace D Flock 2015 World of change to the left of me No horizon on the right to see ….. the sun….the setting sun Big brother is always watching me A file and a list for them to keep ….. I’m done….. where can I run Chorus Who’s looking out for the younger ones The robots are the lucky one’s it seems ……and they don’t dream Life evolves in cyberspace Soon we’ll have no race to hear our screams …….our distant screams Where we go and what we do Here’s a computer chip for you …..it’s free …..but you’re not free They always know what’s best for you Your options lost and nothing left ………to choose ……you’re gonna loose Lead spot A numbered sequence 1, 2, 3 A hurd of cattle with two feet ….I’m here! ……I’m over here!! Pencil and paper have no place I think they’re gonna clone my face …..My dear …..Oh my Dear Chorus End Lead riff

The OP mentioned Minecraft or Minecrack, as we know it in my household. This game has turned my 2 kids' brains to utter mush. As if I didn't mind them playing it day and night enough, they also talk really loudly about it in our house, you can't escape it, it's driving me insane.

Well Lesley, you are correct as well, everything in balance though, I am ok with the progress we have made. but the wrong people running the world will as you say, be the extinction of all of us, or maybe some will survive. in pockets here and there, avoiding the machines of death that will be ruling us, hunting us down, like rats, our future exterminators.

Larree is right on the money, some of the examples I have seen, people shopping walking around talking to their spouse at home, what else should I get, ok talk talk blab blah blab, husband and wife in a restaurant playing with their iphone looking at that and in love with a device not looking up and engaging their "loved one" in conversation, even a group of friends at a bar pulling out their new found body part that is now attached to them, its an electronic appendage scrolling texting. idiots walking on the sidewalk looking down and almost bumping into you, and sometimes it has happened with me Doorknobs driving their cars here in town not paying attention to what they are doing and almost hitting my wife and I while we cross the street in a marked crosswalk swerving at the last minute to avoid hitting us. I could go on but wont, we are seeing evidence of a society so engrossed in this smart phone thing that we have lost the art of conversation and consideration cheers to those of us who are still human and not a part of the borg
