The video above is something that I watched when looking for inspiration, but it really made me think about our reliance on computers. In relation to my research on how people are more connected than ever, but more isolated, this video encapsulated the idea of "hiding behind the screen". Although the user in this sense was not hiding behind a "screen" as such, they are hiding behind a veil of technology which prevents a real interaction with another person- who in this case is right in front of them.
Although the video is entertaining, it really brought forward the idea of whether people, in the future, will be able to form real connections with each other, given that our reliance on technology as an intermediary to our social interactions is already so high.
