It is pathetic OP, people that choose that path disconnect themselves from the rest of nature, as well as other humans and instead connect themselves to material things such as gadgets. The same could be said for typing in this box and having a view of the world through it. I am thankful to be living in a place where nature is abundant and still wild.

I was talking to a friend of mine earlier tonight about technology, and phones in particular. I use mine to take pictures when I am out in nature and listen to music. It at least offsets some of the disconnection of such devices.
