Isn't a lot of today's technology about taking us away from the here and now? Listening to music on headphones while out on a run, talking on the phone when ot walking on holiday? Don't get me wrong - listening to music or chatting on the phone are great, but the trend is toward multitasking, distracting yourself from what you're doing. I'm not saying we should go back to the grow your own, kill your own lifestyle but perhaps a little more focus on now, a little more awareness of the present, wouldn't be a bad thing?
