Artist Reveals What’s Wrong With Our Modern Society In These 30 Satirical Illustrations
Sometimes it seems like a simpler life would be more fulfilling and healthy because modern life can be depressing. Almost everyone today exchanges their time for money. Due to pressure from their employment, many are becoming depressed. Higher rates of depression, obesity from poor eating, and a sedentary lifestyle have all been linked to modern life. The pursuit of everlasting wealth is an obsession in modern society today. People don't have time for their families, friends, or to feel genuine affection for one another.

My mom. My dad was the monster in my closet. Who came out at night to hurt me. Mom is my superhero.
I understand what the artist is saying, but I have to disagree on the whole of "Video games don't let you imagine" there's so many videos, articles on theory craft on the worlds these games exist in, thoughts on social structures, ecology and such, so to say it doesn't prompt thought or provoke ones imagination seems...wrong
As an avid reader but not having a mind's eye, video games and movies hold a place in my heart as I get to see the story. It is extra annoying when movies of books change the plot though (if it's significant - pacing/style changes to match the strengths/limitations of the movie medium are ok) as I was looking forward to finally seeing the characters and environments.
What is this supposed to be about? These two things are not mutually exclusive.
Exactly! My daughter loves books *and* video games, as do I. And she has a fantastic imagination, like most 5yo!

Nowadays is difficult, but every child must have one or two beloved books
"Phone bad Book good" is such a stupid sh1t. Not only can one have BOTH, a new medium holds value too. Not too long ago children didn't have books either and somehow grew up fine. What now? TV was said to be bad, but now we know it helps the imagination too. Durns out, that bibliophilia is cool and all, but once you think you're superior because of its you're just a douche.
This is boomer b******t. My kids play all kind of made-up stories in video games, not only games like Minecraft. Video games are just another toy.
And they'll never win with people like Karen demonizing their sacrifice and work.
One guy sees her for her mind, and one guy sees her for her outward appearance like her hair. One values intelligence, the other beauty. The mind lasts longer than physical beauty, so the girl is playing the game to decide which guy to pick, and the guy who sees her for her mind is the better choice in my opinion.
Don't really get it, is it another "smartphones are bad" one? I'd love to see you calling for help in the ocean with a book.
