"People are taking more pictures now than ever before, billions of them, but there are no slides, no prints. Just data. Electronic dust. Years from now when they dig us up there won't be any pictures to find, no record of who we were or how we lived." - Kodachrome


Damn, we are living so much in our phones. And it is not just around coffee tables or Christmas dinners.
Everywhere, even when we seek out a wild experience so that the lost wildnerness within us can reconnect back to the very nature of nature.
Invasion. We try so hard to be exotic in the same confort space.

I really wonder what was the turning point? Is technology such a bad habit, capable of setting us deeper apart from the real world?

Often the first instinct around nature is to grab the phone as fast as possible and capture the moment. PATCHA. Or posing ourself with the moment itself as if blending the two would forever dictate the experience.
What pisses me off is once we try at all cost to get the best moment, we just live for that. We immerse ourselves in the reward of the content we are creating.

We often dismiss any piece of information or have literally no questions. No longer any type of critical thinking. Because what matters is to create content so that we can upload ourselves to the online competition arena. The virtual pangea that connects us all through comparison.

Some are affraid of IA and oh poor kids of today… I can tell you that from what I have seen in the past seasons as a whale watching guide, this is a far broader problem than just that age range. In a matter of a decade and a half is already itching us all, brutally.
