Death Of Conversation: 57 Images Of How Smartphones Take Over Our Lives
Modern technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways - from curing what used to be terminal illnesses to space explorations, we all must agree that life without technologies seems quite impossible now. Though the technologies make living more comfortable, they are also the culprit of many social issues, with smartphone addiction being the top one.
Thanks to cell phones, we are more connected than ever before, but disconnecting is also more painful. The following cartoons, as well as the 'Death Of Conversation' project by Babycakes Romero, illustrate some of the funny and not-so-funny side effects of our social media addiction.
Scroll down below and check the dark drawings for yourself. Though these strips might be disguised in the form of funny comics, the issues that they cover are raising concern to many of us and hopefully, you will not find yourself in these deep drawings.

Famed is thy pic, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Photoshop cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she has a fairer pic than thee.

That's why in Asia, people burn paper phones (among other things) for their loved ones who have passed away.

You're the one who's naive. These are just overly exaggerated garbage to entertain the old people and get them to believing this agenda even more.

Look. These people are too close minded to understand this. The best thing you can do is to shut up if you don't want to take a karma dip.

he never said this. Although, the online sharing of false information such as this somewhat proves the quote's point
