a friend recently suggested I see the documentary Blackfish about the  used as entertainment abuse of whales at Seaworld (and its connection to trainers being killed by whales there) and it  took me into the subject of selfies...in the last year 2 selfies trends have made it into the news-1) grinning selfies at memorial sites and funerals and 2) selfies taken took close to wild animals....there is no clearer sign that technology creates a  disconnect from conscience and its connection to nature.. unable to discern reverence , respect for anything beyond self interest.
