Google is giving a local park $100k to build wi-fi connectivity into park benches.
Screentime is a sickness. There is no sense in being diplomatic about it. The internet has some incredible uses, but like anything good, there is a time and a place. And while we have gotten to a point where it seems the place of the internet is everywhere and the time is always, a park is such an absurd place for internet connectivity that the irony might just be enough to wake some of us up.
These are helpful moments. Moments of clarity when we can move our actual eyes away from screens and toward the red-tailed hawk flying high above the park bench. Moments when the eyes of our souls move away from the constant pursuit of more and to the obvious contentedness of the robin in the ground in front of us.
