Do you hear yourself above the noise?


The growing technology constantly changes the way we think. It is ever moving and engulfs the world by its many forms of communication. Communication can occur over vast distances in time and space. A person is one tiny entity of this fast, ever growing digital age and is in constant access to all forms of media. This media somewhat controls their lives. And through these many forms of communication whether it is desired or not, the individual forgets to live in the moment of what is. The person forgets to communicate with himself.

Today’s telephone is in constant contact with our body, it invades our home, interrupts our work, steals our free time and infiltrates our community. In other words the telephone governs our lives as a whole. Our mind is in constant contact for the use of others and our home is accessible through the telephone for others. Work can only generally ‘work’ if you are available for contact. Play is governed by how much free time you have and our community is readily available through all forms of communication. We as a nation revolve around the phone and digital media.

With all this 'time' spent on communicating with others when do any of us stop to communicate with ourselves.
