When I hear the word mind numbing all I think about is the boring aspects of life or something that honestly doesn’t satisfy me at all and in this generation when we are bored like this we result to being glued to our phone, watching television, or going to stores and spending money on things we honestly really do not need. Our attention goes straight to social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and so on for the reason that we want to be in touch with everyone else and see what else is going on and we find satisfaction in this for some odd reason such as comfort.
Me personally, whenever I am bored and something doesn’t catch my attention I resort to being on my phone and having that need to connect with individuals that interest me to make me feel not bored anymore and this is a continuous thing it occurs every day. This honestly relates to the show whenever the zombies are just walking and walking like they’re bored and nothing has their attention but when a loud noise goes off it catches their attention and they go straight toward the direction of whatever it was which is how whenever my phone goes off when I am bored I go straight to my phone and answer it which gives me satisfaction if I am interested in whoever has messaged me.
Besides the usage of our cell phones and social media sites, we are also zombies whenever we go shopping in malls for the reason we are constantly walking throughout various stores just like zombies are in the television series and whenever we see something we like or a store that is considered a favorite we go in which reminds me of how the show relates to when individuals are in the mall. Also we always talk about saving money but once we are in the mall our minds are quickly changed and that money is well spent on something that was really wanted but a few weeks or so later you begin to realize that this was a waste of money or you don’t really wear this item, it is just something that will sit in your closet and never worn again which is another way we are zombies.
What I learned from this class is how we are breaking it down and relating it to the real life that we live in and how people today relate to the zombies in the show. Our class discussions are interesting for the reason when I hear view points from my other classmates it makes me think about how all of it relates to me in some way. Our attention spans are honestly short just like how the zombie’s attention spans are easily interrupted by sight or loud noises that provoke them to go towards it which relates to us whenever we see something we want or a loud noise our attention goes toward it which makes us go toward it. We relate to zombies in many ways besides the fact of eating other people but everything else we do have a lot in common with the dead from the show.
