Another day in paradise! Coming back at you for day number two. Going off of my post for yesterday with regard to everything passing us by, I stumbled upon some evidence that backs me up while shopping at Wal-Mart. It was pretty busy for a Friday night as I searched for a parking space. While in the store, I noticed an older lady texting on her cell phone. I stopped and stared for a second, hmmm, how many people come shopping or any activity outside our home and constantly use his or her phone. As I strolled past 15 aisles, I counted the people using their phones, whether it be texting or chatting. Of the 21 people I counted, 17 were using their phones. The sad part was that one family had 4 members, mom, dad, son, daughter and the only person not using his or her phone was dad. What is the world coming to when we have to stay connected by technology, including myself? We as people, inhabitants of this earth, need to stop, take a breath, and see the natural beauty around us instead of worrying about facebook status updates or other things such as what your BFF is doing tonight. Here are some photos of things we share nature with. Enjoy the pictures, I took them myself and all are captured in the wild.
The pictures are awesome and I agree with you. we do need to slow down and look around us.
ReplyDeleteagreed. interesting point of view coming from someone who posts a blog on the very thing he is demonishing. however, you are right. people dont take the time to smell the roses anymore, or to see what the world has to offer, as they always have their noses in their phones, or in their computers. i for one love my phone, and it is my main source of keeping in contact with the world. but i would like to think that i dont spend as much time on it as i do in the real world.
ReplyDeletehave a nice day.
Great Pics, and I think that most of us created our lives around technology.. It is what we know. I have had a computer ever since i was a little girl and its what i know and what i am good at. I do love the outdoors and love camping.. But when it comes to what i do most with my days, I am always on my computer. I love my computer and I love all the amazing things i can create with it.. so it is my life. Sad as that is.. its true..
