I like technology. It really can do amazing things. But, I don't think we've properly adapted to it.
Yes, we use technology in incredible ways -- to connect with families across continents, to accomplish more in a day than we previously could in weeks or months & to access the world's information at our fingertips.
We also use it to indulge our bad habits -- to gossip, to stalk, to compare, to mindlessly entertain, to show-off & to ignore (for more, see my posts on Facebook & Pinterest).
Today, I photographed people outside of Marina Bay Sands. You to judge how they use technology.
In other words, who needs people when you have a cell phone - sad state of affairs.

ReplyDeleteWell, there are people on the other end of those phones too. I think the really cool thing is that we are not confined anymore to those in close vicinity.
ReplyDelete@Martin - I agree with that. I live in Singapore, yet I grew up in America. Technology is how I stay connected to family & friends.
ReplyDeleteI think there are 3 pieces of the puzzle:
1. Good Tech: Improves our life and relationships
2. Grey Tech: Neither helps or hurts us (i.e., games, apps, distractions, etc)
3. Bad Tech: Feeds off of our need for comparison, power, greed, etc.
I think I likely photographed people in the #2 bucket.
