For the life of me; I can't understand why people everywhere are tethered to their phones. Although I don't wish to oversimplify, it seems we are willingly becoming clones. Technology diminished human contact, and bigotry is on the rise; that's a fact. We are social beings; meant to interface with one another in person, face to face.

Technology is creating a new species of human beings - solitary beings. The impact on one's health and one's society is ignored.

Cheers!!!

Yes. I so agree with your message. And the picture illustrated the disconnect is so well. I think you miss the good old days as much as I do. Congrats on a great win.
