Entry #5 Wall-E !

Wall-E, Wall-E, Wall-E.
A movie dearest to a lot of us I think. 
Now I have to say, I posted about this movie awhile ago now almost a year later . . .
Things seem to be going the way I predicted. Worse.
(Yes I'm going to post the same picture as I did last time simply because it is relevant.)
I think this clip makes us all feel the same and react the same.
Guilty, scared, ashamed, sad, but most of all driven.
Driven to not let this be our future. 
Don't get me wrong I think technology is a beautiful thing, but when it is taken advantage of that, that is when it becomes a problem. 
Now a days I see two year old children playing around with Ipads and smart phones. 
I find that very sad.
What ever happened to simply just playing old board games, completing puzzles, playing tag, or even heads down thumbs up? 
I think technology could either make us or break us.
And by the looks of it, well it isn't looking so good.
From last year to this year technology keeps advancing.
As it keeps advancing I see more people fighting to keep the old ways alive.
I think in a world where now there is too much technology it is okay to cut back a bit. Who said we can't have both?
Every time I see this clip I can't help but flinch a bit. 
Because I admit I catch myself being lazy and watching TV for a good while or being glued to my phone. 
I put a time limit on my use of these technologies and when I know I've passed it a little voice inside my head screams . . .

Don't give into it! 

And we won't blueberries, we have to try to branch out and not give in. :)
