How Addiction To Technology Is Taking Over Our Lives In Illustrations By Jean Jullien

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 -.-

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?

All you old people need to get used to it. I'm at my desktop computer with my GoPro on the table, speakers, my phone, a 3ds, etc. and it's the new form of both productivity and entertainment. If I'm traveling and see a nice mountain range, I'm going to get out and shoot photos of the range and then flip the camera and take a selfie for memories of the location. Why sit on a bus, bored, when you can play a game or watch a video. Instead of going out and raking leaves to earn money, I started and am running a gaming server which is both *fun* and earns me some extra cash. I don't think it's good to like block out family while having a meal or getting less outside time but basically suck it up and "evolve" with the generation because I think it's better for the most part :D

I completely agree how technology is taking over, but it has some good uses too. But good issue your raising awareness too

Yes Emil and Laury and others: we embrace technology and I too cannot function without it. But at the same time we have to fight against the addictions, that consume (young) users to the bone in situations that they should be aware of their direct surroundings. At home at the dinner table or when they should be sleeping. Or when they could be developing their own creativity instead of clicking other’s... Do more sports, get out more et cetera. And hearing no artists to proclaim the contrary: there’s enough communication about using and buying new technology from the producers. Glad there’s some counterweight ;-).

Fabulous.

I dont have a phone, so I don't relate to any of these. But I do see others on their devices and I fear that humanity will end up like....i don't know, idiots.
