We are antisocial; curse you technology!

How many times do you see this picture while commuting in a crowded subway? Probably a lot.

When was the last time that you smiled at the little baby who was in his mom's lap looking at you with those curious eyes?

When was the last time that you gave a person a friendly nod who was sitting beside you?

When was the last time that you decided to offer your seat to an old lady instead of listening to the top ten hits on your iPod and closing your eyes?

I can hear you say so what if I didn't, it is the trend now and I can't live without my cell.

True. Technology is not to blame. Look at the picture below. See?

Only the time has changed.

They are not talking to each other either.

Thanks for reading...

  • Agree.

  • What really evolves is just the way people entertain themselves and forget completely what's happening around.

  • Life does that to people. 

  • I do not mind really. My mind is also occupied of things I have to and must do and if not it's indeed a good place to contemplate on how some days passed by.

  • Good one! Me2:]

  • thats exactly what happened nowadays....sometimes when u try to be off from your what so called gadget...these people didnt even pay attention on you, since they are busy :)

  • Fortunately, I never open my gadget when I'm in public places, except some important thing, I should reply soon or receive the phone. Let be wise, starts from ourselves.

  • Good for you
    I always stick my tongue out at a baby or a toddler if I see one:]

  • Yep next time smile at them and share the results...

  • When I was a kid, my brother and I used to fight over the window seat. Needless to say, he was the winner  Always. <:[
