I always think about the way technology has gotten rooted in our lives nowadays. It has brought a lot of positive things, a lot of progress to Humanity, there is no question about it. But the problem, I think, is our attitude toward it. We became obsessed by these machines. Of course, they make our communication with others easier, faster, that is absolutely true! However, little by little, we are losing our ability to paying attention to people who are in front of us everyday. We are losing touch with the human side of relationships. On the streets it is incredible to see how most eyes are turned  to the screen of a device, than to the eyes of others, when they come to ask for an information, or may be smilling to us, or talking to us in a caffe! We are forgetting to appreciate nature, the animals, time with kids too... Our relationships with living things are becoming more and more impoverished and it is sad. Let's keep the BALANCE of things to not lose contact with things that are really, really the essential ones, after all!
