Entry #5: Disconnected

     We all love the movie Wall-e, but in reality it serves as a warning to our current day youth.  As the years go on we are designing and innovating new pieces of technology that make every aspect of our lives easier.  If we continue down this route, I predict it will look fairly similar to this scene from Wall-e.  Now it's not all doom and gloom in our future.  The scientific advancements alone have made our lives more comfortable and safer than ever before.  In the clip you get an in depth look at how the people of that time were living.  Everyone was "connected" to what ever source of media they chose.  They didn't even have to navigate to their destinations; instead they sat in lazy boy hover chairs and had robot road side food services.  In my opinion that is not a life that I want my kids or grand kids to be living.  When Wall-e is trying to get past the large lady in red he accidentally interrupts her call, rendering her free from her distractions.  What she sees leaves her in shock for a moment.  "...wow this is the world that I am missing out on every day?!".  It happens to us every day.  My advice to you is don't let the world pass you by while you're staring at your screens.
