    How we have become dependent on technology and smartphones? "Are You Lost in the World Like Me?" is the title of the song from Moby & The Void Pacific Choir. The accompanying video reflects on addiction to technology and criticizes our society. It was made by Steve Cutts, famous for his satirical illustrations on capitalism.





    Moby is an artist who bases his songs on electronic music, it is therefore not a video against technology but of a series of images that make us reflect on how much our society has become dependent on smartphones in recent times.

    Technology should not be demonized because every day can be useful to us and because it represents an indispensable resource in various work sectors and a practical support in daily life.

    Problems come when using smartphones and other technological tools it leads us to distance ourselves from others and to alienate ourselves rather than helping us to communicate better. Social networks and apps, which are among the most used tools via smartphones, were born to improve communication between people who are distant, to make it more practical and faster.

    Now, as the video of Moby's song shows and in the situations that many of us witness every day, the smartphone is becoming a barrier between us and others which prevents us from spending time with the people who are actually next to us at that moment because at the same time we are actually attracted to the messages and notifications that may have arrived on the mobile phone. Would you like to deny it?

    We really risk 'getting lost' and creating distances between us and others, precisely those distances that new technologies claim to bridge.



    So what can we do to get our life back?

    Again the secret is all in our ability to focus on the present moment given that when we are at the table, in a face-to-face conversation or simply in the company of friends, we must first try to focus on them, on what they are telling us, on the important emotions they want to convey to us 'live'.


    We learn anew to live in the present, a regain visual and physical contact with others, to listen to their words without technological distractions so that theempathy can really come into play.

    Any notification, email or message can definitely wait.
