The World At Their Fingertips



People often refer to this new generation, so rich in technology, as having "the world at their fingertips."  With access to games, movies, social- media, music, and endless entertainment through the tap of a finger, children are spending more time than ever in front of screens.  This means that they are spending less time than ever in nature, discovering the world through active engagement with it.  Children are not meant to interact with the world through a screen, which distances them and desensitizes them to all that they see.  My remixed image is an alternate perception of children having the world at their fingertips.  As they hang their feet in a stream below, they hold in their hands the world as they are discovering it.
