Visual Metaphor

We live in a society where we seem to be tied to our electronics. Although they allow us to reach places and people that we otherwise would not be able to, the also have the ability to separate us from the things and people that surround us. In this case, with the cell phone we are separated from the things around us by trapping ourselves in the world of electronics. We don't have any contacts with the people around us and face to face contact decreases significantly. These advancements in electronics have advantages in allowing us to contact far away loved ones but they can also have disadvantages by preventing us from having relationships with those closest to us.
