THINK ABOUT IT
What’s scarier than creepy clowns?
IT-Vasion of the brain snatchers!
When we turn on devices and tune in to the noise, we drop out of society.
From apps to AI to self-driving cars we are ‘conveniently’ programmed to think less.
What happened to THINK and Grow Rich? Commit to a determined mindset, consistently THINK about your desire, surround yourself with a supportive group - not gadgets - and take action in the direction of your dreams. If you can believe it, you can achieve it. Imagine that!
Ironically, Social Media is isolating us under a spell of false connection. While our friend list grows, our virtual interactions are shrinking the head count of real, face-to-face conversations.
We’re texting people who aren’t with us while treating people next to us as ghosts.
Letting strangers take the wheel is our default to car pools with friends.
Automated checkout bypasses human interaction in stores.
Every day more people are opting out of the crowd by shopping online, never leaving the big box they call home.
We’re righteously swiping away serendipitous collisions that introduce friendly faces and spark meaningful conversations. Forget about subliminal advertising, our brains are being re-wired!
