Zombie Generation The Social Media generation Endless zombification All day screen staring Life-sucking enervation Head down finger scrolling Thought-loss dissipation Millions of followers Ineffectual affectation Do nothing else Inevitable immobilization As society shifts to the online Virtual civilization _____________________________ From 90's shoe-gazing to noughties navel-gazing, to today's nonstop screen-gazing. The rise and rise of the smart phone, social media and distraction from the real world is making techno-zombies of us all. Stop looking down. Look up and around. That is where life is taking place. Not on a screen with cute kittens being spooked by cucumbers. (Written on my, er...smartphone...sorry.)
