I feel as though as time moves on each generation becomes more and more fixated on technology. Of course it has it’s perks however, it also diminishes the mind-state of young children. They become so consumed by video games and other distractions and never realize. This in turn creates the stereotypical “couch potato” and children forget what it’s like to play outside or go beyond the digital world. Although this doesn’t adhere to all youth it has become an epidemic among many. This image depicts a young boy, as can be seen, riding on a hover board and talking on  a cellular device as his stuffed animal trails alongside. The stuffed animal symbolizes the boy leaving his childhood behind as it doesn’t give him the same joy as his new found love with technology.
