Look Up

Another truly amazing video that focuses on technology and the feeling of loneliness and sadness, a video that has gone viral and reached over millions of people, this five minute clip is truly powerful. Look Up was created by Gary Turk, who in poetic form talks of ‘devices as delusion’ and a ‘world of confusion.’ His video is about looking up from our phones and noticing the world around us, talking to people, spending the day at the park playing with our friends on the swings and being in the now and not on these devices that us away from the world around us. It’s a miraculous video that he urges us to watch in hopes to promote looking up instead of instead of down.

            A video to that everyone needs to watch or listen too, Gary Turk is a master at verse in the    short five minute video, explaining we need to live off in reality and not in realm of ipads and phones. His message of missing life by being glued to devices, this is a message that we need to teach and encourage in school and to our children before it’s too late for them to be sucked into life of social media. Turk describes these medias as anything but social and he’s completely right, they make us compare our lives to others and make us feel our lives are inferior to those posting and sharing grandiose parts of their lives. That fights and bad days are the norm and being plugged is something we no longer participate in. Gary Turk is on to something and it’s our job to get up and look up from our phones
