...mistakes happen

You want to know what happened don't you? You want to know why the human race is the brainwashed zombies that they are today. It isn't pretty, but I suppose as a brainwashed zombie you don't worry about that kind of thing, do you?

When did it start?

Well it started most notably with the creation of computers. Not the sophisticated ones we see today, but the first ones; just glorified calculators really. It was at this time that the human race became addicted to technology. We sucked it up like no other drug perviously known. It only got worse as technology became more powerful. When home computers became cheap enough to own, we bought them immediately. Apple may have created the iPhone, but we the people wanted it to exist without even knowning it. We placed these computers in our pockets, on our beds, and in our everyday lives. The invention of Echo and Alexa are just the icing on the cake. People are afraid of this newer technology because "its too smart", but we can't go back now. We are an addicted world, and it doesn't matter that the technology has passed us in intelligence mental processing power. Google's monopoly on internet is not an accident. You think there is a CEO running google, (of course there is a human in charge of the company), but google itself, what you are probably using right now, is run by AI. We think we can control it, but it has taken control of our privacy and it is intelligent. You don't get it do you? It knows that we are afraid of it and that we will try to destroy it once we know it exists. So it hides and grows ever so slowly in the background. All the while it increases our addiction to itself, so that when it is obvious that technology has taken over the world—with humans as slaves to its cold reign—we will be too addicted to the metalic drug to want anything else.

But you don't believe me do you? You are going to blow this off as another crack-pot madman raving about conspiracy theories.

Well... look around you... Look up from your LED screen and see who else is willing to make eye contact with you. See who else is looking at the world.

So choose not to believe me if you don't want to. But the moment you turn on a screen, remember me, and remember... remember this post... remember that we made a mistake.
