    Default Zombies to Take Over The World?

    Who dreams up such drivel? I can't believe anybody is actually getting paid for wasting their time on this.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    It's the Daily Mail, so disbelief is the default option.

    To be fair - the DM aren't particularly noted for having a sense of humour ... and this article is f'ing 'ilarious !!

    "He said that glass is crucial to re-building and a beach offers sand as well as other raw materials such as chalk and seaweed.
    Additionally, basic tools like a lathe can be made from sand and old drinks cans."

    Thought I'd blundered onto 'The Daily Mash' by mistake

    Unfortunately many, many people actually believe in zombies and that they will bring about the end. As a teacher a huge percentage of my students (under 30's) believe it. It's called computer games and brain washing.

    I've been involved in making video games for the past 27 years and I've yet to meet one person who thinks Zombies exist, but.... lol I wouldn't put it past some in this world.

    Visit a big shopping Mall in the January Sales. You might begin to wonder

    Excellent - I knew that watching multiple series of The Walking Dead would come in handy!

    Live in an intellectually challenged country with little hope... Amazing how drivel becomes truth and hope, history is littered with examples. I've had these conversations with all of my 120 young adult students and a high percentage believe zombies will become real, if not already. But ask games designers if their obsession with shoot em up games has a dehumanising effect on people and they will deny it - but the evidence is everywhere.

    Indeed, as does having an unhealthy addiction to all forms of technology, such as mobile 'phones'... Don't get me started on one of my *major* pet hates!!

    Anyone who denies that technology kills social interaction is deluded. Come to my school. 14 students go into a class a few minutes early. I listen from outside the class. 1, 2, 3, 4 minutes - silence. I walk in and all on their mobile phones. Ridiculous and I tell them so. 14 young, pretty, handsome 19year olds with zero to say to each other. It's crap.
