The World Deserted By The Civilization That Destroyed It

I watched the film Wall E today. It tells a story of a world deserted by the civilization that destroyed it and robot Wall E - was left on earth to clean up the mess.

It is much more than a Pixar animated movie and it's different from any other Disney's Pictures, it has a good cause to it and I think it serves as a wake up call for us all living on earth.

The characters in the movie are all obese, constantly in communication with each other but only through video chat. They don't take the time to get to know people sitting next to them and the notion of getting up and talking to their mate next to them? Forget it - all they really need was instant messaging!

Sadly - this is not alien to us at all and we are resembling that increasingly fast. The arrival of the movie is here to remind us that we are all wrapped up in a cyber world and fast forgetting how to live in the real world.

We should all learn a lesson from this heartwarming animation. Every once in a while,

• Take out those ears and listen to the amazing sound of nature around you
• Let those text-messaging fingers rest and take a minute to shake someone's hand
  
• Watch a movie on a real theatre, not on an iPod
  
• Laugh with someone in person instead of LOLing in IM
