Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Good grief.....not sure what I made of that. I feel rather sad now though!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I see of the world (not here in France though) it's a true vision.
DeleteBeing a Luddite I still have to sit in front of a desktop to access the virtual world of unreality. I don't have a smartphone. Despite it being very restricted, I still have a lite!
ReplyDeleteI do have an iPhone but it doesn't have all the pay-for gizmos. I use it for WhatsApp, Phone, and as a Camera.
DeleteThat just about sums up the present state of the world! What a sad place.
ReplyDeleteSad, but true!
DeleteGreat! Well done Steve Cutts! I often feel like the little fellow with the big eyes as, so far, I have never needed or wanted a mobile phone.
ReplyDeleteBrighton is a good example of the video. I see hoards of people all the time glued to their phones. I (of course) am just an observer.
DeleteThat is the best animation I have seen for a long time. So very apt.
ReplyDeleteQuite frightening really, but so true!
DeleteI saw that the other day, and thought it was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteVery good, isn't it. And so true to life.
DeleteEven though it's animated, it tells the whole story. Clever idea.
DeleteIt is brilliant, my phone spends most of it's time in my bag, or on the desk. LOOK UP, there is a big real world out there.
ReplyDeleteThis is reality and not ideal. Phones have taken over and sometimes I think people do not even realize how this looks and the impact it has. People everywhere staring at their phones!
ReplyDeleteHow can we ever get back to a more sociable life? This, sadly, is the future.
DeleteSad.
ReplyDeleteAwful.
DeleteIf you think that's bad, wait until everyone is wearing virtual reality headsets.
ReplyDeleteI wear an 'actual reality' headset; much more fun.
DeleteThe image of being locked in your 'cell' really grabbed me.
ReplyDeleteA slightly grim view of modern life, but not far off.
DeleteThat is so very sad. Most people don't even realise what they are missing by never looking up and away from their phones.
ReplyDeleteI'm lost for words, so sad but so true.
ReplyDeleteThe piece of music?. Is it Einaudi?
