The Lost Forest

With so much of life based on electronic representations of reality, humans risk losing touch with nature. From web cams that offer views of wildlife to virtual tours of the Grand Canyon to robotic pets, modern technology increasingly is encroaching into human connections with the natural world. I believe this intrusion may emerge as one of the central psychological problems of our times. People might think that if technological nature is partly good than that's good enough, but it's not! Because across generations what will happen is that the good enough will become the good. If we don't change course, it will impoverish us as a species. Finding this magical location has sparked a new devotion deep inside me, which has given me the sudden thirst to explore the land deeper and on a more intimate level.
