The Pedestrian

I believe technology leads us to more isolation and freedom. We are so distracted with our phones, and focus on the world through our phones, that we forget to look up and pay atttention to the things happening around us now. We disconnect ourselves from the world, only to pay attention to our screens and the lives of others through our screens. We don’t pay attention to life and events around us, only on our phones. Although our phones are our main focus, it also helps with expressing ourselves through them, even if we can’t really express ourselves in real life. It helps us communicate with people through our screens, and so easily too, although speaking to someone face to face would be a bit more better, because human interaction is way better, at least in my opinion. But technology can be both good and bad, bad because it disconnects us from our surroundings and doesn’t really make us aware of what’s happening next to us, but also good because it helps us communicate faster and more efficient with others.
