Jaylen WeaverMr. ProbstAP English and Composition 11/17/16ASSERTION JOURNAL #11: Eric Smith’s Image        Eric Smith shows an image of a man on a boat on his phone while there is a whale a few feet from him. Smith took this image to show how the guy on the phone represent many people in the world who uses phones in society. The man represents how much people are very attached to technology and don’t associate themselves with the natural environment of the world. The fog and the cloudiness in the setting makes the image gloomier since that the man has his eyes glued to his phone and is not showing any reaction at all towards the whale.        Smith is correct since now in society technology is advanced and many people have smartphones. Many people are very dependent on technology now today and many people are on their phones in public. For an example when riding on buses, many people just get on their phones on social media or playing mobile games while their riding the bus rather than just look out the window to see the phenomenal the world.         The man in the image shows the representation of many people in society who are stuck up to technology like smartphones. Yes, it is nice to be connected with people around the world and what is going on in the world at your fingertips, but many people realize the astonishing nature of the world named planet Earth.Smith, Eric. @esmith_images. “A sign of times.” Instagram, 3 November 2015.
