Our Digital Age
Today's digital world comes with many benefits, but it shouldn't come at the expense of our health. It is a new and strange thing for modern people to sit in front of digital images many hours a day! Human bodies are made to move, to stretch, to rest on the ground, to see things in the distance, to hear the birds in the trees, to feel the soft rain falling, and to be in touch with one another. The ever expanding use of mobile devices, PC's and televisions easily dulls our senses and disconnects us from reality. We forget about our physical presence, our posture and the world around us. Modern people are in danger of loosing touch with themselves as physical, self-empowered and social beings.
