'Alienation and the Solution'
The more technology we have, the less of humanity we seem to exhibit. All those gadgets, we invented, were meant to serve the purpose of making more free quality time for us but it seems that due to the technological advances we have even less time for our fellow human. Alienation is a disease that takes us away from the company of other people and locks us up in front of our screens.
Though, heavy atmosphere of this blue, dusk shot speaks of alienation between people. Closed and isolated middle part, depicting a building with barely seen windows and the sky riddled with antennas, defines the main idea. A heavy dark shape of the building weights its mass over the entire composition and, very much, defines the overall mood.
Thick and heavy horizontal layers appear emotionally unpenetrable. The only possible escape from the dark massive shape and the outside borders seems to be the sky. But, the positive emotion fades away as soon as we realize that it's only a reflection, not the real sky. The observer's point of view becomes clear at that moment. Downward.
The middle is closed from the top and bottom with pointillistic, nervous asphalt structure which isolates the reflection from the rest of the world. The "T" shaped white marking, which is the lightest object carries a meaning. Until we figure out what it means to us, it will remain the main mystery of this photo together with the antennas which are calling out for everyone who can help with the overall alienation but no one seems to hear nor care.
For me, "T" stands for Togetherness. ;-)
That is the solution.
Enjoy!

I like that you constantly touch socially important topics for society.
Gadgets and new technologies - this is undoubtedly a very important achievement for humanity. But if you touch on the theme of "nostalgia." I will give an example from my childhood. My childhood was without telephones. We had a very good time. We set the appointment time in advance. It was interesting. I had a lot of friends (even more than in the age of digital technology, it was not real virtual friends). We watched movies on video cassettes and it was very cool :) I loved spending time with my girlfriend and she did not give anything away and all the attention was to me. (I mean that modern girls are dependent on their smartphones).
With friends in the childhood we were very keen on moto-technology and if something is not significant then they turned to the elders (now the senior attention is paid less because there is the Internet).
I do not claim that it was better before, but every time of our life is good in its own way. Therefore, we should appreciate every day lived.
This photo is a reflection of past times! We see them only in our imagination and vivid memories. More such will not happen.
Why do you think that in all films and books the future is portrayed as gloomy? even despite all the technological progress.
I will repeat, the main idea that visited me is that it is necessary to enjoy this :)
Thank you

I agree with you for the most part about the technology progress and alienation, but then again some tech innovations can bring us even closer, blockchain for example. Huge potential to bring us all together and to find a solution to many problems of modern society. I like your photo and what you derived from it, really captures the feel of isolation and solitude with this blue/gray tone and the roughness of an asphalt.

The inventions were meant to solve the human problems and they did. Unfortunately, the only problem they solved was helping a few get more profits through these invention. I keep downloading apps for toddlers in my home and all the free apps have so much ads that it becomes almost impossible to use those apps. I'm talking about the Google Play, one of the biggest companies in the world. Similarly, in current times, we have more awareness about health and fitness and that's why we can have balanced diet with just a click of a button. But when it comes to being healthy, we see more diseases and sickness today than it used to be in the past. I understand that the population of the world has increased enormously but at the same time, technology has touched its heights. Why does not majority of the people in developing countries no safe drinking water available in the times when there are always plenty of funds available for killing humans through wars? We're not progressing at all. We're heading towards hell...or we're in hell more appropriately.

Hi sir!! Thanks for this, I love gadgets and games but this is true, sometimes I really do forget all the people that surrounds me, even my girl for that matter, just because of playing games.. It's ironic that gadgets have an advertisement saying they are made to connect people but in reality we are really drifting away to one another.

A good opinion and I agree. With the technology such as gadgets that many social media applications, making people lazy socialize. Everyone prefers to chat ria like to chat directly.

yeah, Technology is taking us to both the sides.
Negative and positive.
Take the example of the internet.
some people are using it for wrong purposes like watching porn etc.
But Others are using it get knowledge and in a positive way.
Take the example of these war weapons.
They too two aspects, One is safety other is destroyed.
So it depends on onus how we use technology and how we can get benefit from it.
@Velimir i need your help.

This Post shows the control of technology over man. I think it's a matter of how we control technology or let technology control us. But it's the truth that with technology man has lost the ability to socialize but on a different platform.

Hi @velimir
It is really true that we are locked to screens.
The first sentence of your article kicks the inner soul's suffering from how we are going far from the people.
And your solution "'T' for togetherness" is the real answer.

There will always be black & white, good and evil, technology vs humanity, so on... it is the human nature. For the moment is still on an individual to break through for himself in society ( like what we are doing here now and we did over the history), but maybe in a near future will be some kind of harmony between us people, some really acceptable regulations that we made for ourselves to achieve what you are alluding in your post. Still, we are constantly moving forward...you think we cen mess it up?

In as much as technology has opened our minds towards possibilities and independencies we might achieve, it has gradually burnt out the part of us that loves to connect.
My friend once told me
What we have achieved keeps us to ourselves and makes us forget who we're meant to be. This is clearly explained by the dark mass gradually falling over the city.
Nice image. Love the relativity to life as it holds for us

Hello , first of all I just love the picture ! And then to find it's about alienation , that's something I think about being old enough to remember having one phone that was in the hallway .But I'm heartened by how my young adults use the technology , I think they have a rich social experience , my son's have numerous friends they would never have met if it weren't for gaming , and their friendships have developed so that a few of them have hooked up in real life ! Me as well , for years I would say hello to one of my son's friends when I popped into the room to dump laundry etc , George my son would have david from Scotland on Skype while they played G T A , so he would always say " hi George's mum " and I would wave back , and over time I got to know about david , his bloody budgey squarking in the background , that he worked for Gregg s and loved it , that his mum had a bad leg ! Long story short when I visited Scotland david met me for a quick drink and a pic to post on f b to surprise my George, fantastic , couldn't have done that years ago . So I get what you 're saying but technology is a tool and it depends how u use it , I think once we the people get good at this stuff , start our own apps up to meet and help each other out , great things will happen , at the moment the people with the money who fund a lot of these silicone valley platforms are still working with an old capitalist model and profit is the main objective , things will change I have no doubt , hopefully in my lifetime we 'll see how amazing people can be !
