Deductive Reasoning

I've come to the conclusion that our world is going to end sometime in the near future. You're probably wondering why I would say such a thing... and I'm going to tell you why.

WE'RE MOVING TOO FAST.

It's all about instant gratification these days, and we're only going to be moving faster.

When you think about all the technological "advancements" the world has discovered, most (if not all) of them have something to do with getting things done quicker. Let's take the car, for example. We now have cars that can go up to 700 MPH, cars that can start without you even sitting in your seat, and... alright well, I don't know cars too well, but you get the picture.

Then of course the internet, the non-physical world of convenience, came into play. You can get anything you want at the tip of your fingertips. The internet and cell phones have also butchered the English language. You know what I'm talking about. "C u later! What r u doin 2nite? G2G!"

We're all so accustomed to being lazy. We live in a world with remote controls, iPods, cellular phones, wireless fidelity, social networking websites... I could name so many other things, but I'll stop right there because it's not just technology that's moving faster.

People in general are moving faster with regard to intimacy. The traditional relationship has gotten lost in the hook-up generation that we live in now. We're animals by nature, and now skip the dating game and jump to sex.

It's not even taboo in the media, anymore. There are so many movies that are just explicitly about sex (such as Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie Brüno), and the songs at the top of the chart are no different. Lately my twelve year old sister has been walking around the house singing the song "Love Game" by Lady Gaga, and telling me that she wants to take a ride on my disco stick. I hope to God that she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Alright, so where am I going with this? With sex being everywhere these days (and technology as its catalyst), I believe that we're going to have the biggest baby boom in history, overpopulate the world, and die from a lack of resources. Either that, or we'll all give each other STIs and die that way.

However, I could be totally wrong about this. Maybe the promotion of sex will balance itself out with the promotion of safe sex. I don't really hear songs about birth control being played on the radio, though...

The moral of this rant is:
Use a condom.

By the way, please don't take this seriously. I'm not hating on how fast things are moving. I love the Internet, and I love fast cars. I cherish my microwave, and I'm on Facebook all the time. Just remember... no glove, no love.
