Spell – A ciggie and a perm

Because how would one spend their time while awaiting the hair rolls to do their magic?A lil’ browsing, a lil’ scrolling, a lil’ nicotine inhaling.Just a little, innocuous. Can stop whenever…But surreptitiously, inconspicuously it creeps in…And so groweth the addiction.

Even the best of wines can be outshined by a little screen and its tricks.

How sad.

Spell – Evening routine (bis)

20 Thursday Jan 2022

The attraction to all things new, flashy, shiny is deeply embedded in the human psyche, that’s why new toys are difficult to resist.

That’s also why attraction to said new toys doesn’t last long and needs constant renewal.

Smartphone, tech and highly addictive apps related to “social media ” are designed to trigger in the psyche the same reaction as new shiny toys and induce the pursuit of the gratification they procure.

Damages caused by these tech and apps are being studied and documented, yet their propagation and access to younger minds is not thwarted. It’s difficult enough as a teen or a grown up to resist the temptation of round the clock entertainment…. so for youngers, imagine….

Hence the question, are we doomed?

I leave it to your appreciation…

It maybe the first thing one reaches in the morning, and the last thing done before embarking onto the island of 1000 dreams…

Another sign proving of how endlessly addictive tech and apps have become.

Even the most beloved activity cannot compete with that tempting social media thing…. and thus it’s tumbling down the rabbit hole….
