The World without Borders

We live in the era of post-modernity; everything becomes liquid, that is to say, everything is temporary. And we live in the age of technology where everything becomes easier and closer, for instance, we buy something without leaving home, talk to people from other places without ever leaving our seats, look at each other without having to move, just turning on our computers.

It has positive and negative aspects, because we can talk to people to whom we did not have contact, we can buy things within a blink of time. But it has a negative side. People spend too much time vegetating in front of a computer and "TV". They don’t go to the streets to talk to new people. These individuals are getting overweighed.

And it's only the beginning, the tip of the iceberg.  People forget where they live and how this place is one of the most important things for the duration of nature and all living beings. They do not realize the amount of trash that has been forming over the years, and they are not looking for a way to make it stop.

An example, kind of silly, but it can make us reflect is the movie "Wall-E," where humans had to leave the Earth because there was no oxygen and didn´t have enough means to survive, then what is left of man's technology on Earth was just devastation and trash. I hope we will not come to this point. So that it doesn´t come true we need to move now, because destroying the planet Earth is gradually destroying us.
