Imagine creating this hand-held device

available for all to enjoy.

Pacifying vast swathes of the population.

The people would voluntarily spend most of their time investing their attention on this device to the detriment of observing the reality of genuine life going on around them.

Regardless of this being direct interaction with fellow humans.

Changes in their rights as citizens.

Deeply enjoying nature.

All life going on in the city.

Or indeed that truck heading right for them as they blithely stand right there in middle of the street.

 

Endless background noise please cease

Right now I am seeking some real peace

Yet through the ethers comes the chatter

Gossip, trivia and all else that doesn’t matter

It’s so easy behind a screen to be outspoken

Wittiest words posted, but seldom spoken

 

How about we get the user’s fingerprints and scans of their faces/eyes as part of the process?

 And while we are at let’s gather all their personal details…

Like who they communicate with and every email they send.

Who they bank with and how they spend their money down to the last penny.

Where they are geographically located to within a metre at any given time.

Their interests and social media posts.

If they are away on vacation, where they went and for how long.

Where they work or not and why not.

Who they hang-out with and where they hang-out with them.

What they had for lunch.

Or even what time they usually go to bed and who with.

Then is all starts again when they get up the following day and eat breakfast!

 

Endless background noise please cease

Right now I am seeking some real peace

Yet through the ethers comes the chatter

Gossip, trivia and all else that doesn’t matter

It’s so easy behind a screen to be outspoken

Wittiest words posted, but seldom spoken

 

And how about as part of this process we make this device so addictive to the users they consider it essential to their very survival?

A vital part of their identity and day to day functioning.

Their life!

Even better still let’s make the users pay out their own pockets for the privilege of being indoctrinated…

 

Talk about a masterplan.

You really couldn’t make it up…
