Not the Matrix

It would appear that 13 year olds are now of the mind to pair up in a virtual fashion.

And when I say fashion, I do mean fashion; it is quite fashionable to have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

But the current interpretation of the conjoined ‘friend’ is rather virtual in nature.

A couple will communicate by text or through a messaging app, but actual face to face meetings are minimised or altogether avoided because they are yucky, messy, or something else altogether; I know not what.

This phenomenon has also assisted in the rise of vibisexuality in the matrix. Driven by images of female pop stars kissing other female pop stars, some young girls have decided to have their virtual affairs with other girls. There’s no feedback loop to hoop.

My prediction is that these 13 year olds will continue to have their virtual relationships even as they get to that age where something else could be desired.

You can see them now; 30 years old with virtual husbands and wives.

They will live apart but communicate continually through apps.

They may even each have virtual presence with the other through holograms that move and speak.

When it comes to sex, procreation and child raising, well, technology will allow this to be outsourced.

And the kids can be then be virtual, computer generated, thereby solving the world’s population problem.

So it’s not quite the Matrix that we are looking at it here. After the next generation everyone will be virtual with no messy bodies to look after.
