Technology & Humanity

I work with computers every day.  I have a PC at work, an iMac at home, and a macbook that I use both at work and home.  When I go home, I use my computer to either paint digitally so I can further improve my skills, or work on personal projects that may or may not change my career in a big way in the future.  Still failing on that latter point mind you, but the point remains that I use computers quite a bit.

I realize people use their tablets, computers and especially cellphones everywhere they go.  It seems the technological items that can bring us together take us further apart.  I go to lunch with some of my co-workers and at times they're all looking down at their cellphones.  It's probably because of how bored they are talking with me, but that's besides the point. 

I just mentioned that I use computers exessively, but I try to minimize it when I can.  I never buy ebooks, I prefer looking away from a computer if I am reading a book.  I use my cellphone sparingly though I imagine I am an exception in North America in this regard.  This video greatly illustrates how important technology is and some negative effects it has on society.  I was in 5 different countries in Europe over a month ago and noone used cellphones like people in Canada and America do.

Also stop taking pictures of your food everyday and posting it online.  No one gives a shit. :)
