My phone winks at me

I stare at that phone a dozen times a day, half-expecting it to stare right back. Maybe even wink and nod. But it is still, lifeless for the majority of it's existence- perhaps even siphoning my life away everytime I search and fixate on it's digital display.

I know my phone is an inanimate product of 1's and 0's, but given the amount of attention we focus on various other digital displays, you would think they would soon begin to talk; or at least acknowledge our existence the way we do theirs.

But electronics don't have emotions. They are silicone-based aliens, sucking our lives into themselves- offering no explanation for their silence, while we declare like a crazed lover that we cannot live without them!
