Poem Artwork

We have become

too attached

to our I-phones!

 

Recording,

taking selfies,

texting,

searching for stuff...

 

All for what?

 

We forget to

LIVE IN THE MOMENT. 

 

On a 30 min. helicopter ride

over New York City.

Everyone recorded like 

Hollywood producers  

 

Then, half-way back

I stopped recording

Put away the I-phone.

 

 

Then "THRILL" set in!

I enjoyed LIFE!.

LIVING

IN THAT MOMENT

in time.

 

Time is so precious.

We want to record and text everything.

But to miss out

on LIFE

is a really

a crime.

 

Amen!

I don't have an i-phone. I use my Mac to write and post. I couldn't handle more technology in my life.

Indeed most people miss out on life now because they are too busy on there phones. It’s sad that social media has robbed so many people of the pleasure of living a truthful and meaningful life.

Too sad that the young people in today's world is unaware of the true beauty of the nature that is surrounding them and the true meaning of life and reality. They live in a world of text and phones and many unrealistic worlds in the video games. Technology advancement is good but only when you're not addicted the the unrealistic world.

Internal pictures are all we really need . . .

Our eyes have the acuity well beyond the finest cameras. Our hearing surpasses the best microphones. Our brains process in ways organically that the finest computer cannot do. So, when we simply observe and soak in all there is to see or hear, our brain stores it in a remarkable way that we can bring it back with clear vision 50 or 60 years later.

You are right. Those busy recording everything they see and do, are not using their brains away their brains were intended, and that is to lock away what is important into our long-term memory in a way that we can pull it back and verify, "The way it really was."

While I regret not getting photos or videos of some of the places that I've been. With minor modifications, I still remember the high points of my life and am writing them into the series.

You really make an important point here. People's heads are constantly in their phones and are actually missing out on life. That's why I have never bought one. When at home, I am on computer of course, but I don't need to have my head in a phone 24/7. Never have, never will.
