The Social Media Waste

Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to bid farewell to Tony, a pioneer in the world of social media. Tony, who lived and breathed in the realm of tweets, posts, likes, and shares, has left us, and it's safe to say, he took the phrase "life online" quite literally.

Tony's journey through life ended without true meaning. While most were busy experiencing life's little pleasures, Tony was trying to document them on various social media platforms. You only needed to scroll through his Instagram if you wanted to know what Tony had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact, Tony's cat had more followers than most people.

But alas, as we celebrate Tony's life, we also remember the moments that passed by unnoticed in the pursuit of that perfect selfie. While Tony was busy updating his status or arguing his opinion with a total stranger. He missed beautiful sunsets, the laughter of children, and the joy of a real conversation. And though Tony was the king of his own emoji world, his heart rarely expressed its true feelings beyond those tiny digital symbols.

Tony will forever be remembered as a master of hashtags and trending topics, but the depth of his offline connections was often shallow. His smartphone was their best friend, and the charger their loyal companion. He had a wealth of virtual friends, but few knew the sound of Tony's genuine laughter or the warmth of his personality beyond the fakery of his posts.

In closing, we mourn the loss of Tony, who spent a lifetime scrolling, clicking, and swiping. Let us learn from his story – to put down our screens, savour life's moments, and remember that real connections are not measured in likes, shares, or retweets. We may shed tears for Tony, but let those tears serve as a reminder that life is not just lived through a screen; it's lived in the moments we create with the people we love. Rest in peace, Tony. May you find Wi-Fi in the afterlife, and may your hashtags be evergreen.
