A comment on today's society

Taken yesterday in front of the Library at Docklands, Victoria, Australia. Count how many people do not have a phone in their hand versus those who do.

Thanks for your view, comments and favs for "Cloudscape". Much appreciated.

Grateful for all God's blessings
Well spotted. Maybe to couple holding hands are hands free.

Our world now.

So true! Nice pic!
August 22nd, 2024  
Sad and a real sign of our times

Looking at this more closely the only person who hasn't got a phone is the lady with the red handbag. Everyone else is either looking at their phones or have the phone in their hands. The couple you think are holding hands aren't actually holding hands, her left arm is folded upwards and the two of them have phones in their hands, him in his left hand and her in her right but at least they aren't talking on their phones.

A fascinating capture with so much to see!

Your photo says it all! I see it everywhere too, even people driving are looking down at their phones. You see it in restaurants where people are looking at their phones and ignoring those with them, walking down the sidewalk looking down at their phones. Sad really!

@onewing You should be called Eagle eye Babs, great that you mentioned everything I could not see ;-)
August 22nd, 2024  
Yes I know what you mean. People don't seem to be able to do anything without a phone in their hand

It's a sad commentary, but the way of the world today. Great candid capture.
August 22nd, 2024  
Indeed
August 22nd, 2024  
A sad reflection of the times
August 22nd, 2024  
Sad isn’t it!
August 22nd, 2024  
Yes, this is the way it is now. Unlikely to change
August 22nd, 2024  
That's such a super commentary!
August 22nd, 2024  
Great capture and a very honest reflection of our time.

@ludwigsdiana I looked at it on my tablet so could enlarge it and see more detail.

@onewing Wow! Thanks for your detailed review of this image. Kudos to you for seeing that the couple walking away were not holding hands. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh my goodness, even the walkers are on their phones. When we were at Point Lobos which was covered in spring wildflowers. We passed a group of 4 which were all on their phones instead of admiring the beauty around the….and it wasn’t their cameras.

This is our everyday life. This is how we communicate and it is an efficient system. It is important that we are able to put our phones down and spend time on something else.
August 23rd, 2024  
@haskar I agree
August 23rd, 2024  
I noticed the two ladies on the right in their colorful outfits. I’m guilty of being in beautiful places and also looking at my phone.

Great photo commentary on our society
