Homo texting

Samer Amin

 

 

 

 

Nearly two decades ago, a new subclass of modern humans ''Homo sapiens'' emerged, and this new species was dubbed "Homo texting" by the majority of scientific community.

 

 

 

Because the members of this subclass cannot stop looking at their phone screen or stop texting for one minute.

 

 

 

This subfamily is also part of the Hominidae family (great apes, or human ancestors).

 

 

 

They are distinguished by a little stoop in their back and their amazing ability to walk on two legs without looking in front of them at all.

 

 

 

High mastery of texting, accompanied by excessive use of their cellphones, compared to their classical human counterparts.

 

 

 

This subclass appeared with many modified and special senses that did not previously exist in classical humans.

 

 

 

They can easily walk while texting without bumping into anything either day or night.

 

 

 

Even on the busiest streets or even while crossing the world's most dangerous highways.

 

 

 

Scientists usually attribute this exceptional capability to the amazing new "echo-detecting senses" that have been developed in the brain of this species after many years of excessive texting while walking.

 

 

 

Besides their extraordinary abilities to keep texting during literally all of their daily activities.

 

 

 

This mysterious phenomenon has been an enigma to psychologists and anthropologists for a decade.

 

 

 

How could this subclass keep texting while walking, eating, swimming, and even during intimacy?

 

 

 

They must have developed special senses outside the current understanding of modern science.

 

 

 

What poses a real challenge to scientists is the inexplicable behavior of this "Homo texting" in nature or on beaches.

 

 

 

This type of "Homo texting" enjoy being in nature a lot; however, they never bother themselves by peeking at the beautiful surroundings away from their cellphones.

 

 

 

That is why some scientists have postulated that they might have developed some kind of undeveloped or very primitive eyes on the back of their necks or something like that.

 

 

 

Moreover, they are usually misunderstood by their classic human partners when they think they don't care about them or ignore them while they keep texting constantly at home.

 

 

 

Whereas, they are very tender and compassionate creatures, they only seem like that due to their sophisticated and extra-developed senses.

    Very witty , Samer. They don't collide with me because I sidestep to avoid collision - although I'm pretty good at cutting it fine so I manage to clip their shoulder....

        ah, we're all just jealous
        of their proprioception - genius!
        lol, a fun write to vent what's a very relatable frustration, dear poet

          You are very wise and know very well how to read the inner thoughts of others.

            But I was very serious indeed.

              Much truth is said in jest.
