It seems that the more gadgets we have that were all touted as being able to de-stress us by keeping us up to date, the more stressed out we have become. People walk out of their houses on their phones, they drive while checking their emails, and walk down the street while texting someone.

You know, there is something to be said for not knowing everything right now. Wouldn't it be nice to walk down the street to your local store and actually watch where you're going? Take time to see the trees, the insects, and the birds as you go by? Being able to drive in your car and enjoy the view, what a simple pleasure we take for granted. Sometimes we're trying to talk to one person while texting someone else. Gone are the times when you had someone's undivided attention, and enter the times when our lives have become one multitasking session after another.

We get up in the morning and check our smart phones and or tablets before we talk to our significant other. We can send a quick email, check the weather and the news all before we say "hey" to our partners. There used to be time for talk before we leave the house, but now the only talk we hear is "I'm late, gotta go."

This high tech driven society definitely has it's advantages, and there are some technologies that really make life a joy to live, however, all this tech has come at a price. Instead of connecting one on one, we end up connecting one on three, or one on five, as we try to connect to everything and everyone at once.
