RE: July 4th and Life Behind the Screen

It's incredible how screens and the internet have completely changed the world. Often, if not always, I walk down the street and see young people in their 20s or 30s walking along, staring at their phone screens without looking around, without appreciating the details and simple but beautiful things in life, or how they miss out on talking to people face to face or admiring nature in all its splendour.

It's very possible that screens are eating our brains; in fact, they serve to distract the mind from what's important. But it's also true that many of us use them for work, and finding balance is part of our job, so that the screen is a complement and not our entire life. Thank you very much for your thoughts; I completely agree.
