Pokemon go:A saga of stupidity meeting technology and the relevance to all crypto

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

So far there have been many cases of people getting hurt,robbed,or lost and I think its only really the start.So I thought it would be amusing to start keeping track:
Scrub plays while driving and tries to catch a tree with his car:

Robbin more than just the pokemon:

Noobs get lost in a mine:

Im obviously all for technology but this shows how stupid people can be in its application.Perhaps there is even relevance to crypo as a whole;look at the DAO project;a revolutionary project but when it comes into contact with people bad things happen.Steemit seems to have perhaps found a good middle ground and there is still much to be done but it has to be kept in mind that technology is a great thing but it is even more important to see how behaves in the wild when it comes into contact with one of the most unpredictable things;human nature and stupidity

I'm waiting for the first Pokemon GO death (if it didn't already happen).

Its coming soon,perhaps I should start a bitbet bet about when the first death occurs...thats kinda morbid but it really would be their own fault lol

there is no end to stupidity!
