The Systems Are Failing

In this video we follow a little boy surrounded by adults on their phone. We see how angry people can get, how fake, how depressed etc. The little boy wants attention from people and tries to pull them off their phones constantly. Theres a birds eye view shot of thousands of people on their knees worshipping something ahead and then we see it's depicted to be Kim Kardashian. Young girls worship this women, someone who is completely fake in more ways than one and view her like a god.

The scene that is the most eye opening starts with a video of a girl dancing posted all over the internet. The title stating how she was a bad dancer, then cut to her standing on the ledge of a building. Below her, countless people recording it all on their phones and then follow her fall all the way to the ground right in front of them.Immediately, they all move on and walk away and the boy is left standing there with a tear in his eye. This stands out the most because instances like this happen to us all the time. Horrible acts of violence, cover ups, natural disasters etc happen countlessly and we talk about it for maybe a week tops then we move on to the next piece of breaking news. Our society is so addicted to the internet with it being so quick and efficient that we barely have the attention span for just one problem in our world. We get bored and we move on to the next thing. Its a dangerous cycle and we dont  really question it.
