Black mirror

 

We trust so much of our lives to these glittering screens. But what will happen when these screens and their endless distractions, just … stop working? When our dashing advertisements, video games, Netflix accounts, social media, and internet throws us off the grid rather than onto it. When our phones, TVs, computers, tablets, and ATMs flicker to a stop.

All that would be left is a telling reflection of us, addicts in the beginning of withdrawal.

So, can you see it? This is us. Real people who find themselves suddenly at odds with a reality absent of the glow of shimmering pixels.

We will return to the basics of fire and stone. There we will find ourselves stark and naked like prehistoric times, yet now we are infinitely more vulnerable.

So, this is the new us. This is the newly evolved Homo Sapien. And this is our era crystallized and preserved in these quiet black mirrors.
