How Addiction To Technology Is Taking Over Our Lives In Illustrations By Jean Jullien
251Kviews
French illustrator Jean Jullien draws witty illustrations that point out our absurd addictions to technology, social media and our smartphones. The artist is famous for mocking our obsession, which cuts us off from the real life, leaving us alienated and lonely.
Besides his satire, Jullien also uses social networks as a political platform. He is widely known for creating the "Peace for Paris" symbol which has become a worldwide sign of solidarity with France after the Paris attacks.

How People Feel When They Put Together A Good Playlist
Irony
its cheaper to pat £600 for a phone, and £20 a month on a contract than to use a phone box these days

Do You Do It?
I'm pretty sure everyone with a cell phone had done this at one point in their life.
Quwerty

I don't entirely get this one but I find it strangely funny. I'm not sure why.
Week by week artists have only one point of view "machines are enslaving the people". Always the same smartphones grow, people shuting something (food, other objects, event or other), people live on Social media while being with other people. True Witch-hunt of XXI century. That starts to be annoying, please (begging) some new point -.-
I rarely ever see those artists - or any artist, really - celebrating everything that we can now accomplish and have access to with technology like this. If we didn't have this, they wouldn't have any other audience than the frustrated people from, let's face it, the generations that don't understand the technology or the people who think it's either analog, or digital. It's not. It can be both. I HAS to be both. It kills me that such potents instruments for change get put down because hurr durr technology is making us stupid. Protests are organized and news not making it to the mainstream media are shared. We find people from so many horizons with such different experiences online, and we have a world of information at the tip of our fingers. Social medias saved my life in so many ways that the non-digital life could never have. Instead of putting it down, celebrate and harness it. Otherwise, you're just dragging everyone down for trafic and ad revenue.
I completely agree with you. I'm so annoyed that I will eventually come up with something in defense. Currently I'm (how ironic) too busy being productive with graduating university abroad, actively looking for a job and taking side projects.
Since I got my first Kindle (which by the way I was strongly against in the beginning), I can't imagine myself taking a 1000-page "traditional" book on the subway any more. There is no shame in having something that lets you carry your favourite books around in your purse... especially if it can fit several hundred books at the same time.
Same me. I'm not against book buying, but, men! They are incredible expensive, even the used ones, where I live. I read a lot for school and lots of novels by download on the internet. And Save for paper books too, but thanks to having everything on my cellphone I'm reading everything I wanted to read.
These have been done to death already. How many articles about "soul-sucking phones" and photographs of people using iPads do we need? The images lost their effect after the first few, after that it was just overkill. This artist is creating digital art on their computer and submitting it to a website that heavily uses social media and caters to mobile devices. It sounds like they are probably profiting quite a bit from using these "alienating" and terrible electronic devices! People using phones and tablets at dinner, at the beach and in social situations need to work on their social skills and learn to be more respectful of people around them...but that is more about the individual than the devices they use. Also, there are a lot of people that aren't taking pictures of their food and tweeting every dumb thing they do, but actually use their phone for things relevant to their work and to learn and discover new things. How about something positive and less hypocritical next time?
