And here we are on Steemit, as part of the "attention economy."

Being a gallery/gift shop proprietor, I see lots of people daily, and it's a little alarming how many of the under-25's (mostly) are connected to their smartphones like it's actually an extra appendage. And more than a few even experience the art on our walls *through the lens of their camera phone,* rather than looking at it with their own eyes. No, I didn't make that up...

I'm online a LOT, because I make most of my living from the web... but I am always happy to get away from the tech and just walk around outside. And leave the phone at home, when I do.

I totally agree with you on the whole thing of which people more so of the younger crowd are always seem to be connected to the phones. I personally don't own a smartphone, call me old fashion but I still just use my house phone. Now I do own a personal computer which I am on the web to make a living and to also stay connected to family and friends which live out of state from where I am located. I don't travel much with my computer unless I am away from home for a long period of time. I can say that there are lot of good from tech., but I can also say it's harming people in other ways. Example living life without the need to be "always" on the web. I must be old fashion, I enjoy life outside the web more then being on it. There is more to life then living through the net.
