Artist Shows Us What the World Would Look Like Without Smartphones

Smartphones: we all have them and most of us don’t know what we’d do without one. In fact, according to our site analytics, 64% of you will be reading this blog on your smartphone. But are they making us disconnected from our families, our friends, and society in general?

The question of whether we are too obsessed with our technology is a topic that everyone seems to have an opinion on. Photographer Eric Pickersgill has his own ideas in his recent series called Removed, which is a collection of photographs depicting how bizarre life would look if one simply removed all electronic devices from everyday scenarios. Through this series, he aims to demonstrate the obsessive preoccupation that society has with electronics and gadgets.

What do you think? Are you obsessed with your phone?
