When Technology Drowns the Voice

A call for human contact instead of automation

Modern, automated world.

Mad machines that beep.

Attention-demanding.

Time-stealing.

Movement-restricting little devils.

The washing machine that beeps it’s done.

The oven that tells you the food is ready.

Why doesn't the laundry basket tell you when it's full?

Humans should not think.

Senses disengaged.

Where’s the app that beeps for human contact now?

Face to face.

See a person.

Hear a story.

Feel a presence.
