The photo illustrates how family members are isolated from each other by their smartphones. Although they are sitting next together, each of them is overly focusing on their smartphones. Some of them maybe texting with friends while the others are playing phone games. They are living in their own world, with no acknowledgements to their external environment including their family members. This is why each person is shaped by different colors in the photo with a colorless background.
Human interaction with technology means human ourselves are using the technology in a right and balanced way. Nevertheless, here obviously is not the case. It seems that we humans have overlooked the fact that we are interacting with technology too much to the extent that as if being “ruled” by technology. The use of mobile phones is so pervasive and intriguing that even our kinship cannot escape from being ruined.
The isolation of family members illustrated by the photo is just a tip of the iceberg. If the problem remains unsettled, please don’t be surprised when you see the world is no longer controlled or dominated by human, but maybe by intelligence robots.
