Wasteland

     The world is not to end from a natural disaster, a deadly virus, or a nuclear war. The world will end once humans are consumed by technology. We live in a society where materialism is acceptable and promoted; our cultural values have alienated us. Consumerism, the constant need to buy, has made us slaves to our desire; slaves to money and inanimate things that aren’t even necessary for survival.
     We are constantly bombarded by corporations, advertisements, media, and technology; told what to buy, what to think, how to perceive the world, and how to live in a society dictated by superficial values. Where is the substance? We have become a race of cyborgs, stripped of our mundane qualities and bewitched by the machines created by our own hands. We have lost our identity as individuals; we are no longer free-thinking creatures, but mindless drones. 

we're after the same rainbow's end. no matter
