zombies

This article about zombies and its connection and pop culture is apparent to anyone who owns turns on the television. With games, movies and an extreme internet following, zombies are this generations horror theme in the 60's it was Godzilla, in the 80's and 90's it was Jason, and now it's zombies. Under normal circumstances I would be all over the whole phycology angle and how people were wasting there time trying to tell us thing we really don't need to know but this article was written by people who don't have fancy degrees and probably to much time on their hands so for them it was this or get a real job and I guess we know witch one they picked.
I'm not going to say that finding out why humans fear certain things isn't interesting I'm making the argument that its just not practical(kind of like Math). But unlike math knowing why people created zombies as a fear is not going to cost you your job. With out further to do it is widely believed that zombies are a reference to technology and its ability to take over a persons life and cause them to act without purpose (no wonder pop culture and zombies go together so well there both references). another commonly believed theme for zombies is they are a symbol of capitalism and the over spending of consumers. Since zombies are compelled to consume it only made since that the greed of consumers and mob mentality would be referenced somewhere in an undead flick.     
     lastly I fell the reason people identify so well with a zombie apocalypse is the lack of help and the felling of being generally alone. With not technology to connect us and no way to communicate with others and having to relie on makeshift clubs and swords is all parts exciting and scary, not to mention its that second chance to break out of the pack and set of on your own destiny most only dream about.
I don't want you to think I have an unfair byest when talking about a zombie apocalypse, I like all kind of apocalypses simply because they tell the best stories. One of my favorite games of all time takes place in a nuclear ravaged future and the story is a blast. To reiterate my opinion on any apocalypse, it is interpreted as a time of rebirth and renewal, a chance to forge hero and great new nations
  My final questions is "are we doing a zombie themed lesion any time soon?"
