Imagine you're a god, you created the humans and watch over them the same way you would playing the sims. You can also imagine being a dog or cat, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Think about it, its freakish why it would be in the  interest of a being as intellectual and godly as humans, to spent hours commanding a version of themselves in front of their eyes through a screen killing others doing the same thing and then proceed to watch the full Fortnite dance. Be it the cancer that is Fortnite, or Minecraft, or League of Legends, or god forbid, Candy Crush.

Music has a unique place in the hearts of humans, especially edgy and depressed teenagers. You jam your favorite cacophony of waves into your head every fucking time you don't need to communicate. On the bus or train? Doing housework or homework? I've seen people listening to their favorite melody as they walk, talk, or even when other people's tryna get their points across, say, in a math class for example. Being a hypocritical piece of shit that I am, for some reason listening to Chloe Moriondo while writting these lines seems perfectly ok. Isn't it very depressing that we have such a strong, ever lasting urge to listen to other people's voices and feelings, while ignoring the same things in our everyday lives? How many times have it occur that all you want is to plug in your earphones and slip away with your music?

While all electronic devices are capable of delivering the two entertainment purposes mentioned above, there's a reason the phone is specifically targeted. Unlike your 3DS, Playstation or MP3 player, your smartphones is more attractive to you than lamps to moths. That is, you stick to the glowing darn thing as if you literally have only one day left to live, despite it being hopelessly useless to your life goals most of the times. The phone now belongs nowhere outside the room you're in, is on your bedside drawer when you're asleep, and is even cared for by you more than your mother. Most of the time, we were merely "checking our phones" to see the latest notifications, or if you're a lonely prick like I am, checking to see that there are no notifications. The fact is, your phone isn't a four months old infant and does not need to be checked on every 5 minutes. Not to mention, "checking" your phone is a gateway to losing yourself over the internet watching Buzzfeed on youtube and scrolling aimlessly through your newsfeed for tik tok memes.

Apart from being the things that are deemed important to most of us, they also have many things in common: is crazily addictive, dangerous when addicted, and used as a dumb remedy to your self avoidant and problems. You read that correctly.
