I loved this blogpost This Little Antithesis!

I thought that this article might be one of the greatest that I saw this semester from the perspective that sides more with technology than with it's users. Many times people blame technology, and the new inventions of such, but we have the capability of walking away from it whether we are off-the-grid or not. We are the ones who have the choice of using phones, computers, and all other devices. If we don't want to be connected to the world, we can personally choose not to, and try to step away from it. We need to learn to have the self control to walk away from technology when we need to.

The quotes listed are all very representative of how we cannot always escape technology, but how we can learn to embrace life with it, and take steps to walk away if that need be the case. I thought that this quote said it best when he wrote, "to once again drink deeply from a mountain stream. And to stretch out under the open sky at night, gaze up at the stars, and use my phone to name each and every one," proving that our natural world and the use of technology are completely morphing into one, but it's necessary that we learn how to manage the interaction between the two separate worlds.
