“For me, living life in Haute Definition (~high definition: quality of visual, quality of sound) is a double-edged sword.
Striving for perfection, we watch others’ lives with envy, relating to strangers, cheating on loneliness. Fixed behind the screen, we find ourselves unable to enjoy the organic, filter-less, low-definition side of life.
We are sterilized from emotion, staring at a black mirror. In our hypersocial, digital state of mind, we are left without substance.”
