"I'm not gonna criticize anybody who likes a good meme; I love memes. But honestly, communication being reduced to digital pixels, that's not what humans are. We're animals who require social activity and need that. It's being taken away from us, and we're taking that for granted because it's convenient. It's a question that we have to ask. I feel like my generation is the one that will be responsible for how future generations carry on communicating, and that's a lot of pressure. But at the same time, this is the moment where we have to choose, convenience over humanity."
