You can live vicariously through today’s technology

Life is shorter than you think

At no time in man’s history has technology existed where people can travel everywhere in the world through the camera of somebody else’s phone or table. Unfortunately, that technology has taken over a lot of people’s lives. All you see, everywhere you go is the top of somebody’s head while they’re focusing intently on their mobile device. The art of conversation is dying; in years if not months to come everybody will greet everybody else with, “like” because they’ll have forgotten how to say, “hello”.

You only get one life, if you waste it watching what everybody else is doing, you’ll be looking at somebody else’s life flash before your eyes when your time is up.

You can live vicariously through today’s technology; however, wouldn’t you be better off living that life instead of watching somebody else living it?
