This pokemon go craze speaks to a fundamental flaw in today's society. The instant gratification, not worth doing unless their is a reward for me in it view so many people have today. Why does it take a video game with a cute little reward at the end to get you off your fat ass and go outside? And even then, people are not really "outside" they are ignoring basically all else to the exception of their video screen. It's sad really. Going outside, experiencing the world and living in the present moment is what its really all about. I rode 5 miles last night just to be outside on a nice summer evening. I felt the perfect temperature, I noticed the smells of nature, listened to birds and smiled at people that went by. Why bury your face in a phone screen and run around until you get your animated reward? It's pathetic really.
