Are you lost in the world like me?

          

                            

One of the great paradoxes of our time is that we have never been more connected but we have never been more disconnected. 

Our interconnected world makes many promises about a better life, but this boy suspects that things are getting worse...

This animated black-and-white video was created by Steven Cutts in the style of 1920's. In it, a wide-eyed child roams through a world full of automatons who do nothing but stare at their smartphones. It makes us wonder about navigating life in our tech-obsessed, postmodern world.
