I've been meaning to tell you, I showed this image to my class of high school English students. The group was divided. Some insisted that the creator was only joking, as the message was only being sent because of technology.

If you had any comment about your intention that you'd like the students to think about, I'd be happy to pass it along.

Hi, I'm flattered that you used my image to provoke discussion in your class. This message was with a series of messages and photos in which I was trying to communicate how i see the world, but in a medium that people would actually see. The message was more of a personal thing than a general observation. Without getting to deep, when i was 16/17 i didn't see my dad and mum wasn't well so I became immersed in my music and my poetry and I substituted these role models and i found artists like the beatles and bob dylan and began to grow up with the influences of the 60's. Love, Peace,Charity and simplicity and I'm only 18 now and I can feel this slight disconnection with my friends and people my age and the world's obsession with technology. People seem more of not wanting technology but needing it, I know it naive to think that we could now live without technology, its a part of life, I use it and I love it but I just feel with our generation its got a hold on us more than it should. People should be more aware of problems facing our world like global warming or the war on poverty rather than the newest gagdets and learn to embrace the simplicities in life and the beauty of nature:)

:) I hope that helped, again I'm flattered with you using this image, you made my day brighter :)

Peace and Love Eden
