It is not a secret that right now in America and around the world our children are spending more and more time on their phones, tables and on computers. Unfortunately, this phenomena is also showing to have an effect on their ability to verbally communicate away from text messages. This is a story of a teenager who isn't the typical. They have a respect for technology but they recognize that the more time we spend on our devices the more disconnected we become from being able to do simple tasks like have a conversation. They take us on a ride of what it's like in the classroom when their classmates struggle to do assignments that require them to put their phones down and how funny they think that it. The turmoil within his family because their parents are concerned that their younger sibling might be addicted. They remind us of all of the things that they see on a day to day basis that should be reminders of how far we've gotten away from what was normal and what is now a rarity. A here and now kind of journey where the performer asks the audience a simple question, are we able to have a simple conversation anymore, or has technology secretly come in and stolen that ability from us? And if it's been stolen, will we ever realize that it is a skill that we need to get back.
