World is more than just the latest phone release

Iused to travel a lot and loved playing basketball but now with responsibilities in life, I don’t find enough time for it. However, I still do take time out to do volunteer work.

Just this week, I spoke to a boy who was cycling and asked him if he enjoyed doing it. He told me he didn’t and was just doing it for a school project. He went on to show an app that was registering how long he had cycled for and at what speed. So, he was just doing it because it was pushed on him and because everything becomes a project children seem to lose the idea of hobbies. That does affect their creative output because even when I ask a group of children during volunteer work to create something, they tend to pick up phones or tablets. When I ask them, “What’s happening in the world?” they tell me, “Did you check out the new phone that just came out?” or they’ll talk to me about an app. I ask them: “What about the app inside you? What’s happening with you?” Because most of their activities are connected with technology, creativity does die down. From Mr Jessin James
