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.
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.
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!
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.
