Does anyone actually get out anymore? "Get away from it all?"
No.
Not since we have our phones on our hips and the world at the tips of our fingertips.
"The World."
What a funny concept. I can Google anything I want, look at photos, write a blog... All in seconds. But what does it really do for me? The Internet is simultaneously making us smarter and more stupid.
Yeah, you can look shit up. So what? Where's our ability to think? To process? To engage? To experience?
Well, it's right there in front of us. We're just too distracted to realize it. The world is outside. It's there. Really. Just not how we think of it.
Without phones, computers, the ability to glance at something when you feel uncomfortable or play a game when you're bored.
And we're missing it.
