Substitute

Because of the convenience that technology has given us, we've faaaar forgotten so many important things and acquired a gamut of useless habits. I vaguely remember life before internet and cable and these were days when kids actually go outside and play, instead of becoming career couch potatoes and gaming/porn junkies. I remember days when people 'actually' did research.

As we find innovative and expedient solutions to doing things, we get proportionately lazy. The barrage of media that we receive on a daily basis makes our brain uncomfortable with silence. Our attention spans are growing shorter and shorter.

At some point we will all realize that technology is fragile. You need to plug your stuff to charge it. You need wireless signal. You need electricity. I think this convenience is turning into a chronic dependency on tools.
