In my last tutorial Matt suggested that I look at the relationship between technology and mindfulness. I think this follows on well with the idea of 'digital natives', a theory I have already been looking at within my visual journal, as it again wrestles with the idea of people absorbing themselves in technology, and becoming too reliant upon it within both their social and professional lives. This is something I personally resonant with as often when I go home I turn off my phone. Being 'online' I think removes us from the present, we place too much importance on our interaction with others through social media - 'friends', 'followers' ect - and search for immediate entertainment - loud and brash - instead of appreciating silence, stillness ect. (the little things)
