Of Zombies and Pokemon

I need an explanation, please.

First of all, I don't believe in Zombies. Although it seems to be an economically viable theme exploited by Hollywood, there's no such thing as walking undead, since it is appointed unto man to die once and afterwards be judged.

But perhaps the Zombie Apocalypse that Hollywood has been predicting for a while now is about to become a reality.

Or how do you explain that a 'game' has now been designed which requires people to run all over the place, their gaze riveted to the screens of their mobile devices, literally chasing shadows - virtual figures that they alone are aware of - at risk of killing or maiming themselves from colliding with objects or other humans, all in the name of entertainment? Let's talk less of the dangers of getting lost, kidnapped etc

I don't deny the ingenuity behind such an interaction, afterall, the concept has launched its innovator into the global limelight and made him custodian of the contents of several bank vaults.

The perfection of 'Zombieism'

It is bad enough that instant messaging has spawned a generation of absent-minded, screen-addicted individuals with more virtual than real relationships in today's world. Now, people will endanger themselves by following randomly generated directions (in my opinion) all about their city.

Nigerians are never far behind a trend, so I can only imagine that as soon as this game is available in Nigeria....(the rest can be left to the imagination)

Imagine diong this on the streets of Lagos! Make them try am for Oshodi na.

If I have misconstrued what Pokemon Go! is all about, please feel free to set me straight. I simply don't get what all the hype is. Anyone, please.
