I've had just enough time to... by fingers
Taken on the road one dark night along a lonely stretch from Tianjin to Beijing, China
The
night is dark
The road
unfamiliar
The
stars covered by clouds
The only
light
From the
smartphone
Navigation
by fingers
Led us
to be found
_______
Loneliness and emptiness
Since I left all behind
Only memories in my mind
Blue lights from the screen
Black universe all around
And I can't hear no sound
Everything is lost
Everything is gone
Everywhere I go
I find myself alone
Endless days passing by
I have fallen too deep
I navigate and dream
Blue lights from the screen
Black universe all around
And I can't hear no sound

The world has changed from the days or nights when sailors do their navigation by stars. Now, in the darkest night; have no fear if you have a smartphone near. With the flick of your fingers, you can navigate the stars. And find that tiny spot in whichever tiny corner of the Earth and a detailed instruction to lead you there. The marvel of modern technology. But like the songs said “something is gain and something is lost in living every day”. It robbed us of the wondrous sense of adventure and the mystery of the unknown. A traveler today is nothing like the adventurers of the old. How much the little phone has changed our life.
This was taken while travelling along a stretch of unfamiliar road from Tianjin to Beijing one dark and starless night with only the phone to guide us. And guided us it did.

A very good photo....and testimony of the present era !!!!! we depend on the smartphone even to go for a walk ... we first click on the "weatherman" bookmark on our smartphones and see how the weather will be in the next 6 hours..... !!! Gulp !!!! ................ just an example...

An iconic image of our present world.
This, I'm sure, happening in countless moments everywhere around the world simultaneously...people accessing information...and connecting to each other.
For the first time in human history the possibility of everyone everywhere being able to reach out and join hands together seems to becoming an imaginable reality.
