The other night I put on this movie for the kids called Outward. The basic premise of the film is that magic used to be prevalent in their world, and then with all the advancements in technology over the years, magic became obsolete and was largely discarded. While I was sitting there watching the film, it got me thinking of the parallels it was highlighting to our use of technology and all the convenience this has afforded us.

But at what cost?

We've chosen the convenient route more and more as time has gone on. Doing less laborious tasks, avoiding pain wherever possible and looking for any possible way to minimise our output to get a result. Now there are lot of examples where this is a very good thing, but there are also a lot of examples where this reliance on technology and things that are convenient is killing us. Killing our creativity, killing our ability to interact socially, killing our desire to get out into the world and do things.

It's an interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy it. Follow me over on instagram to continue the conversation.
