Humanity Will Record Apocalypse with Cellphones [Destruction]
After yesterday's
California earthquake everyone and their dogs* is posting videos
online. Cellphones, camcorders, digital cameras, or CCTV, it doesn't
matter: like the following clips show, it looks like this era of
democratized gadgetry has made humans eager
to record their own
destruction, perhaps as a last chance to leave a notch in History. I
can see it already, when the fourth angel sounds the trumpet, people will
take out their cellphones and start recording a video of the Apocalypse.
Except iPhone users, who would only be able to take photos. That and change
their Facebook status to "is watching the asteroid falling."
* See? The dogs too.
In fact, I can
already imagine Facebook's status worldwide:
"Jason is taking off
his pants as he watches the city turn into flames" "Jesus is trying to
repent quickly of all his sins and having his last Margarita" "Brian is
liveblogging the incoming tsunami. It's cool" "Mark is trying to finish
Mario Galaxy II before the asteroid hits" "Adam is looking for his
bong" "Matt is reading the NYT. Wha'?" "Benny is looking for Tracie
for a last snog" "Strider is commenting in Brian's liveblog"
"Lindsay Joy is watching her Lego minifigs melt" "Curves is keeping it
cool, like always" "OMG Ponies is OMG"
