Can we autocorrect humanity? That's the premise behind this spoken word poetry by the rapper Prince Ea that will make you rethink how much time you spend glued to your devices.

The video is going viral again after it first made waves last year. Watch for some seriously poignant moments, and if you take his words to heart, consider this seven-day digital detox challenge.
