I came across this site today that I have provided below but it immediately reminded me about Amber's post from almost a month ago. So I decided to piggy back that and add some visual representation to what I think she was saying.
A photographer took random everyday pictures of people doing everyday things and going about their lives as usual. What he did though was very interesting. He edited out the electronics from the pictures, more specifically cell phones, iPads, iPods, tablets, e-readers, etc, etc. What you are left with are some pretty interesting but also pretty startling photographs.
Take a look and see how it makes you feel. Did you realize anything? Can you relate to any of the photos? Do you think it's an accurate depiction of how people are today? Do you think that you will make any changes after seeing the photographs?
I'm challenging you: Take a look at the photos and then share it with someone you know. Here's the hard part, have a discussion about it, engage someone in an actual talk about it, call someone, go have coffee and talk about it, go for a walk and chit-chat, whatever it is have a meaningful interaction with THE PERSON. Unless you are having an actual phone conversation, leave your cellular devise out of your reach while talking about the pictures. Go, talk, interact!
Isn't that kinda the point?
