Digital technology has become ubiquitous; hardly one of us is walking around without a phone that is not only a phone but a camera, music player, messenger, GPS, and internet browser as well. In an age where technology is so available and useful we have reached a point where our idea of beauty has been perverted by that technology. Our devices are fashion accessories and it is a rare occasion to see a photo, especially of a person, that has not been photoshopped in some way. In many cases the person being photoshopped has already performed some sort of body-modification through various cosmetic surgeries. This perversion affects us beyond the surface. People need to be connected whether that be a teenager texting fifteen thousand text messages, your mother commenting on every picture of you on facebook, or a student refreshing his email every minute. Until recently, at no point in history have we ever been able to be constantly connected, which has already led to noticeable discomfort we feel when we find that we are not.
