By specifying the names of what surrounds us, we begin to become more grounded and the fog disappears from what we did not know. Specification allows human and nature connection.

The names of objects and items are important as it makes you connect to the world around you. It focuses your thoughts and has you bring meaning into ordinary objects.

Knowing the name of a regular thing highlights it and makes it much less broad. Something just as little as articulating its name brings more appreciation and recognition to the subject, which is beneficial as it emphasizes connection.

Being able to acknowledge those things around us allows one to stand grounded. Removing all wandering thoughts brings us closer to the world

Martha, a tall slim woman, walks into the Maple Leaf Cafe down on third street; her 7 year old child holding her hand. In the free hand of the child, is a hot pink iPad with a protective case, with CocoMelon displayed brightly on its screen. Once the mother and daughter enter the cafe and sit on an oak table, the child gently places her iPad down, and in doing so, she completely disappears. “Lauren, what do you want to drink?” Martha asks, but the child does not answer. It is like she vanished, with only the sound of her mindless cartoon being present.

Although Grace and Bob are in each other's presence, they are not completely indulged in each other. Instead, they sit at the wooden table behind their phone screen. They forget about the people around them and are lost in the light emerging from their screens. They don’t see past the scrolling from edited pictures to AI videos, they focus on their false identity instead of living in reality.

Behind a phone screen, two people texting throughout the day but pass in the hallways. Being embarrassed by their presence, but embracing each other over the phone. Even though she hides behind that phone screen, they still have a connection through the development of texting and smartphones

Two guys decide to try and become rich. After trying and trying again, one of them thought of gambling for the first time. They both went to the Casino, as they walked into the chill, cigar-smelling casino, they get right to work. They put everything on the line and gambled away their entire bodies, and lost. The dealer let them keep their hands because according to him, “They weren’t winning ones.” And now they sit in a Starbucks, with each other’s hands, texting each other because they don’t have mouths anymore.

Society idealized a colorful world full of glitz, glamour, and endless possibilities. It nudged people to push technology to better our lives. As time moved on people had no need to walk, to think, to move, or be bold. The same people who admired its saving grace were now victims of its oppressive grip.

Two friends sit together expecting to chat, but not with their mouths. The shining screens create a border between reality and online presence. It could be relaxing to hide what could affect others in a way that hurts, but it could hurt more to finally bring down the giant curtain of complicated technology to reveal what is truly there. Connections blossom as texts flow between one another, but security is not always guaranteed when meeting face to face without a phone masking what is true. Once they come together, it is time to analyze a face and not a text message.

Bob and Larry, well dressed individuals walked into a coffee shop, took a four seat table and sat diagonally across each other, dim lighting scattering across the room. Their whole body is almost invisible to the naked eye, with only one of their arms being visible, holding their phone.

Two likeminded individuals meet at a cafe, they are there for a date, but both are lost in the hypnotizing device called the cellphone. Their mind’s are enchanted by the color’s and sound’s that their cellphone’s make, rather than talking and sharing interests, they ignore eachother. As time passes, they get more and more lost in their phone’s not realizing that their date was supposed to end hours ago. It is now closing time, the waitress at the cafe ask’s them to leave, they both glance up at her, then at eachother, they share a awkward smile and then leave, never talking to each other again.

These two people go to a restaurant and sit down to order some food. They stare at their phones. The world is going around them, but they do not notice. They look at their phones as they wait for their drinks. Their phone is what controls them, and their bodies do not show up until they get their cups of coffee.

Two individuals being brought together, accompanying one another to talk. They are together on their phones to order food, being accompanied by each other, they order the same meal. In this image they are there but not completely. Still being with each other, neither of them really acknowledge one another much, since they are both occupied with their cellular devices.

As two best friends walk into a restaurant, their initial plan was to eat and spend some time together. Little did they know, who they’d be spending time with was right inside their pockets. Life in a small rectangle; the cell phone, was actually their best friend. As they are waiting for their food, they aren’t even aware of what’s around them, or who is even in front of them.

One gloomy morning, a woman and her partner decide to start their day at a small coffee shop, leading to a brief conversation that ends with one of them getting distracted by their cellular device. This then leads the other person to slowly grow attention to their own device as time passes by. They slowly begin to forget ones presence due to there focus when scrolling on social media, taking in all the information. It’s almost as if they have gone to disconnect from the world without acknowledging one another or what surrounds them.

2025-08-27 15:44:15 UTC

In today's society, small conversations, awareness to our surroundings, connecting with the people around us doesn’t seem to interest us anymore but instead we pay more attention to the story our friends post on Instagram. Can you remember the last time you happened to stroll upon a coffee shop with people sitting inside. What do you see? People playing cards? Friends talking with each other? People asking strangers how their day went? Unfortunately that is not common to see in modern times. Being deeply connected to our devices has taken way a true gift from us, disregarding the blessings around us.

The hands planned on having a nice, graceful, colorful study day after a tiring school day at a small, well-known cafe, as they walked along the hollow street instead of a sunny day, as usual, which was typically bright and paraded with people. As they arrived at their favorite cafe, they were met with endless nothingness, with the room as dark as grey. They sat there in silence, with nothing to study, as they realized they had never known each other at all, sitting deep on their phone the rest of the day.

Angelo and Dominic enter the Grand Cafe together where there are IKEA birch wood tables, chairs, and a warm lighting. Previously, Angelo had chosen to wear a long sleeve while Dominic wore a T-shirt. They then decide on the IKEA birch table against the wall that holds four people but they choose to sit diagonally from across from it. However, something is particularly peculiar regarding their appearances. Angelo and Dominic only have a singular arm while the rest of their body is seemingly invisible. Their physical body does not bother them and they proceed to both go on their Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras.

It was a dark and stormy night, and two siblings who had always grown up fighting and hating each other decided to meet up. They meet up in a small, popular, rustic cafe to try to get along, but as soon as they get there, they ignore each other and start swiping on their phones. The younger brother wants to know why his sister hates him so much, and he starts texting her rather than looking up and talking to her face-to-face. The sister keeps ignoring her brother when all of a sudden they both get a text telling them that their parents passed away as they were driving home, and the slippery roads caused them to slip off a cliff. Now they have to find a way to get along, plan the funeral, and grieve without fighting.

Two students go to the library to find some text books for their school courses. When they get in the library they really don't want to get the books because when they do they have to do an assignment using the textbooks. So rather the students get their text books they sit down at a 4 person table and use their phones, disassociating themselves from everything around them and not getting their work done.
