Great post! I loved your use of pictures to underline your thoughts - that there are things outside of our electronic devices that are worth looking at (at least that is how I interpreted it).
The problem I see nowadays is the large attachment to these electronic devices; especially in the younger generation. Take away someones cell phone and they will feel like their heart has been ripped out. I have a feeling that technology is using us, instead of the other way around. What has changed over the years, is that people have become less attentive (at least from my subjective viewpoint) and can focus less. I notice this, when I go on the subway and see the majority of people just staring at their cell phones causing their awareness of the environment to be reduced drastically.
