Phones! They are everywhere! An electronic device that has sneakily been taking over the world! And the people who buy these ultra super do everything devices are allowing them to take over their personalities, like those giant pods in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. People sit at a table all looking at their phones and not interacting. They might even be texting each other which is so much easier than actually looking at your boyfriend and talking to him. No awkward pauses. And the phones are laughing behind your back (or in front of your face) about all this!
I have a smart phone. It’s a Tracphone. It basically does everything an iphone does but for much, much less. Even so… it tries to work its siren call on me! Subtly buzzing. Wait… it’s buzzing now!
