| dc.description | There is an epidemic that has swept the entire nation—one that most are oblivious to. It is the epidemic of overly fast-paced, technology driven lives. Now, more than ever, Americans lead lives of busyness and constantly being on the run, with cell phones, email, and tablets at the ready. At some point we have to wonder… Could we be eliminating something valuable from our lives with this kind of lifestyle? But, of course, just as soon as these thoughts form in our heads, they disappear at once as the phone chirps, and we grab it to see who texted us. The truth is that there are many valuable things we ignore every day. In fact, there are a thousand, a billion, an infi nite amount of things, perhaps right outside our windows or in the ponds near our houses. They may even be found amidst the mass of forest trees along the highway we took today on our commute to school or work, or in the park that we walked our dogs in. With such a rapid increase in the rate of technology usage, it is easy to forget nature, the master inventor. But we always have the ability to stop, and truly look. | - |
