I remember when I was younger about the age of 10-13, I would of spend my days playing baseball, tags, hide and seek and so on, but that was partly because as a kid I grew up in the Dominican Republic where at the time, cell phones and TVs  were not the main source of entertainment, instead it was going outside hanging out with your friends and playing sports and games all day long but as I moved to the U.S and grew older I started noticing that here In New York, it was different, there was barely any physical activities to do outside in most part due to the weather but just as much cell phones and TVs were the cause too, it is almost as if people rather text than meet up in person, watch a movie on Netflix  and then text about it rather than going to the movies together. cell phones give us the advantage to connect to others who are far away, yet when we use them we are almost completely disconnected to what’s happening in front of our eyes, it’s almost like everyone it’s on their own private space, away from reality and caged inside an artificial connection to others through a phone.
