So many young men are suffering in silence because of technology, communication technology, simply because they think with their fingers. Of course there are young ladies who also suffer because they cannot keep their mouths shut, and pour their hearts and other organs out to their BFFs.
To the young ladies, and even the young men, here is a short story. A true story: There is a senior journalist (he is so senior that you cannot see his byline) in Kenya, let’s call him John, who had dated Rose for so long that their parents had bought stuff for their grandchildren. Rose had a best friend known as Mary and whenever she was going to meet John, she went with Mary. She told Mary everything about John — including his eating habits, sleeping patterns and favourite positions.
To cut to the chase, John and Mary are living happily ever after. Moral of the story: Mind what you tell your friend about your partner, even if the partner was just for a one night stand.
The young men who think with their fingers must know that they are not safe because smart phones are actually that — smart — and as a matter of fact, they are smarter than their owners, if last week’s episode of Screenshots and other previous serials are anything to go by.
And so it comes to pass, that if you really want to save your sex and love life, and save yourself from unnecessary heartaches, do not think with your fingers. Yes, your voice can be recorded, but proving that you were the one who was talking might not be as straight forward as proving that a screenshot was from your line.
Young man, avoid sending text and WhatsApp messages. Employ them only when necessary, and keep your words to the barest minimum. Always make phone calls then say everything you want to say and leave no space for screenshots. But above all, grow up — many of us are least interested in your graphic descriptions, rendezvous, arrant idiocy and sexless flings. We have phone calls to make and hormones to take care of.
