Which Way?

I think we are at a critically important junction right now in the history of our evolution - it seems a tipping point is within sight of the rapidly accumulating effects of industrialization and the ever-increasing presence of technology in our lives. Certainly the effects of technology on children - from increased linkages to depression, obesity and ADHD to the obvious disconnection from nature - is not a new phenomenom. However, like Rachel Carson and "Silent Spring," Richard Louv's book has managed to achieve one fundamental accomplishment - putting into voice what has been present but invisible to people. I guess this image represents that junction and the important role the next generation will have in determining the state of the environmental movement.
