In the world of today, there's one thing that controls nearly all of us: media. Social media especially- if you don't engage in social media, you are nearly a ghost to everyone else who does. Or as some people say, "I don't know what happened to her. She deleted her facebook and fell off the face of the Earth." Now, that's a rough thing to say, but social media is how people keep in touch. Everyone has become so engrossed in their own lives that people keep in touch with and make new friends via sharing images and posting statuses about their daily thoughts. Everything we do has become media and we have essentially become zombies engrossed in consuming the everyday information of our so-called friends online. Take a look back a year or two ago when a woman walked right into a fountain at a local mall in Reading, Pa while studying her cell phone- she basically zombie face-planted herself into YouTube history once the surveillance film was released.
All in all, the idea is that it's nice to take a break and breathe in the scenery around you once in awhile. With all the technology constantly changing and becoming a NECESSITY for everyday life, we need to keep in mind how to be humans.
