Book 1: The Beginning Of The End (P2)
Here's the first thing that I want to say about modern times... IT'S CRAZY!!! My generation is insane... They say that they hate writing and reading but they're obsessed with Texting. Don't they realize that texting is just writing and reading with crappy grammar??? They can type on their phones at a million miles per hour but ask them to type a one page essay. Texting has ruined writing!!!1
I was at a party the other day and there was a child there half my height. He was texting rapidly on a cell phone. I asked him if it was his… He said “Yes” and made a look like “Why is this weird person talking to me?” I asked “How old are you?” He looked up at me like, well I’m not supposed to talk to strangers but you seem nice enough… I still don’t know if I should tell you my age. (Yes, in the three seconds he delayed his answer he went through all those emotions. Crazy, right?) “12” he said.2
Hmm… I had thought he was around ten but whatever… It’s still insane!3
When I told him I didn’t have a cell phone the look of pity in his eyes was surprising. Then I told him that I didn’t want one. Pity turned to shock in a millisecond. “Why!!?” he asked. I said it was because I didn’t want to pay money for something every month. “Oh.”4
Actually I had lied. Even though I don’t want to pay money every month, the main reason I don’t want a cell phone is because people could talk to me at ANY TIME!!! I already am social enough with my email. I don’t need a device that sits in my pocket all the time and reminds me that I have friends. Isn’t that the point of being alone in your house??? You can pretend that you don’t have a life! You can pretend that everyone hates you! A cell phone would ruin that small pleasure. 5
