Did you think being distracted away from the world by your device is a new phenomenon? Wrong!

Did you think being distracted away from the world by your device is a new phenomenon? Wrong!

It’s so easy to get distracted by your phone or tablet as you interact with the world around you. I find myself walking into my village, and I’m looking at my phone and not my surroundings.

However, you’d be wrong in thinking this is just a new phenomenon- yes perhaps in terms of the technology, but as these photos show- there have always been distractions.

I’m going to try and have a little less screen time today and look around. How about you?

Staying distracted doesn’t make the world dissappear….just sayin….it’s only getting worse….it’s time to pay attention
