We need to step away from technology. I mean sure it's great. It's useful. It's expeditious. But the control it has over our lives is ridiculous.
Take Eric Pickersgill's artist renditions of people in (simulated?) real life situations with their devices taken from their hands.
Now add to that Farhad Manjoo's report on virtual reality goggles coming to you for every day use.

Like what in the world are we doing? We are escaping life and by so doing so we are escaping living. For what? Some illusion of safety? Some illusion of happiness? We are social creatures. Watch the documentary "happy". We need human interaction to be deeply, truly happy. Get that shit out of your hand and go fucking live your life, in REAL surround sound.
