O Brave New E-/D-World!

Flash to the future and a screen-kid from today, retired, being loaded onto a wheelchair, (as a result of a sedentary screen lifestyle) for a retirement home bus heading out to the mall for a day trip, recalling his/her rich fulfilling life, sitting in front of screens 24/7 (“Thanks, Mom and Dad”), never going outside to play when s/he was a kid, forever divorced from Nature, but now thinking, as s/he spends mere minutes outside, between the bus and the home, all the life and myriad possibilities s/he never lived or ever got to enjoy in this too-brief, ephemeral, real, physical life.
