Loading ...The fine line between people getting out there and exploring the world and just settling for experiencing it on the internet is getting pretty thin. It’s not that I am knocking the internet for providing us with this opportunity (I am very grateful to be able to watch someone surf a 60 foot wave or base jump off a building at the click of a button), but I do feel that as a human race we are loosing our need to “get out” and explore. As a 22 year old recent graduate I can say that a lot of my friends are falling victim to this trend. It is almost as if visiting a site that can tell you all about Mt. Washington is becoming equivalent to climbing it yourself. I find myself frequently in bar conversations with people who claim to know exactly what a certain culture is all about when they have never experienced it.
It makes me wonder if technology will completed consume the human urge for adventure…………

I sure hope so — all that adventure is really hard on the environment.
