During the last year I’ve really started to notice the frantic nature of our modern world. Nearly every second of every day is full of notifications, texts, emails, content content content. I began to realize that the technology that we’ve been developing has been a double edged sword.
On one hand you have amazing tech that saves lives, helps people communicate and find community, and makes it easy to share creativity with the whole world. On the other hand it has caused us to live inside communication bubbles, sewn hatred, and created a lifestyle of always needing more and feeling like we’re not doing enough.
I wanted my piece to plead with the future to use the tools we’ve created to make our lives truly better. To use the efficiencies it’s created to give us more time to get back to the basics of happiness. Health, community, and reconnecting with the natural world. We can have so much, but I hope in the future we focus on what we NEED.
