PAPERBOY #6

Paperboy #6 - The People Issue

Have you noticed the recent trend for using the word “human” – as in, “He’s a beautiful human” or, “She’s a spectacular human” – instead of the prosaic “person”, or gendered descriptors of the more and less formal variety: “man”, “woman”, “dude”, “babe”, etc.

Here at Paperboy, we think of this development in the language as an inevitable reaction to the dehumanising, impersonal effects of technology. And we welcome it! We are humans, you’re a human – and we don’t doubt that you’re beautiful, not to mention spectacular. Your intelligence is not artificial, and neither is ours. It’s 100 per cent human.
