What are you waiting for?
It is said that technology has made our world smaller by making everything more available. Then by any standard the internet must be the all time crowning achievement. Never before have we been so connected to everyone and everything, right? Well, let’s think about that. I recently read a study which shows an ever increasing percentage of people who are finding more ways to stay connected to the internet for as many of their waking hours as possible. I see this happening around me on a daily basis and I’m thinking this seems like watching a movie about life rather than living one. Are we training ourselves to crave isolation? Just a mere 100 or so years ago, if you wanted to have a conversation with someone you’d need to be in the same room, now you need not even be in the same country. Are we, as a species, advancing toward enlightenment? The answer may not be as clear as we’ve thought.
