Look Up: What's the Tech World Doing to Us?
This video, though it used tech to create it and post it to YouTube to share, has a powerful message about how we are glued to our devices. The narration is done as a poem and questions us about how tech is isolating us.
You've heard the message before, but wanted to share the video because of the interesting way it was done and the images that were used.
Have you thought of disconnecting from tech? Does it take a storm (e.g., hurricane, tornado or other natural disaster when we lose power) to disconnect? Do you agree with the message in the video?
