On this time we are surrounded by technology, almost everything around us is technology, we are all day using our smartphones, our computers, Is this a signal of something? Since I arrived to Santiago I´ve always asking to myself how in a short period of time, I became to have different attitudes that was not properly mine. Where I came from, every day that I went out alone, I was not walking through the street and watching all the time my phone, since I arrived to Santiago I became to watch all the time my phone, on the street, subway, when I was doing anything, and I think that this attitudes started when I arrived to Santiago. When I arrived I see how everybody around me was watching their phones while they walking, even while they were in a restaurant or when they were with a group of people, since that moment something change on me, and I became to use my phone all day, even when I was walking. One day (a existential crisis day) I start to realize that something with me was wrong, and I don’t really liked that, since that moment I start to try to limit the time that I use the phone on the day. Is the technology consuming us? Why is so hard to realize when something is hurtful to oneself?
