Future of communication

[Murdoc]

I think we've been going down the path of a less social world ever since Facebook and social media in general came onto the scene. People don't interact like they used to, anymore. Now it's just a never-ending slot to prove that you have lots of friends, a super interesting life, and no flaws whatsoever. Why do people think mental health, or the lack thereof, has become such a major problem nowadays? Especially amongst the latest generation of kids?

The future will either end up a dystopian Wall-E style mess, or we will all be living in our own simulated realities and do away with the need for each other entirely.

Yikes.

I hadn't even ever thought of the idea of simulated realities for the populations.

Wait... Isn't that the Matrix just on an individual scale?

Yeah, so think Inception when they go into that dodgy cafe and see all those people under the drugs that let them live out whatever they want through dreams. 

Imagine how much money that would make, we finally don't have to deal with each other ever again. It's why companies are pushing VR right now haha. 

I forgot to note in my first post - I was out with some friends once in a club and sitting on the table next to  us were around a dozen teenagers all staring at their phones in complete silence. Just sad.
