According to data the average person touches their phone 96 times a day. Let’s zoom in a bit, that’s at least once every 10 minutes. For the “woke” generation the number should be higher surely high. The average urbanized individual social media is the first stop. What’s happening? What’s trending? Important questions that brought light to conversations that needed to be discussed,#lowerfoodprices. In essence we are already assured in one way or another we will be able to access a meal.

The dream and longing for water or a mere biting may be just their little piece of heaven. However we are blind, the only vision we seem to have is the August election.
