Robots Taking Over The World!

"Technology made it easy for us to stay in touch while keeping a distance. Until we stayed distant and never touched, now all we do is text too much." This is a quote by an underground poet/rapper named Sage Francis. It comes from his song "The Best Of Times" and the reason I'm writing about this is because it defines the truth about our society and how technology has taken such a huge toll on us. From so many Twitter and Facebook users now, equipped with the latest smartphone, and from Skyping with friends, most people only keep in touch with text instead of face to face meetings. Yeah I'm that type of person who takes 30 minutes to a couple hours to reply back to your text, not because I have a hateful emotion towards you, its because I'm not the one who constantly checks their phone every 17 seconds. But I would rather receive a phone call from someone and to have the opportunity to hear the other person's voice. Although I do realize when text messaging comes in handy, from talking stealthily in class and having time to think about your response instead of on the spot responses, so there positives to having technology around. I apologize if this offends anyone, I'm just getting my words out there for the world to read them!
