I think that some of us will find a balance of tech and outdoor experience, some will proudly declare their independence from tech and others will be out in the wilderness but not see any of it because of their tech (other than when putting photo's up on Instagram). I think there're some amazing advancements in tech, advancements that can enhance our experiences, save lives and maybe even help save some nature which would be a wonderful thing. We just need to be considered in our approach to it, prudent in its use and integration into our lives. People falling off of cliffs trying to get the perfect selfie is maybe not the prudent application of tech...
We need to look for that which truly enhances our lives, tech companies tell us what that is, but it's motivated by the need to create markets and sell products. I think that inside us all there's a measure we can use, we just have to find it and find the balance or the tech will take over and we'll miss the experience of being alive with all its lows and highs, it's hard edge and its miracles. Tech is a double edged sword for me and I aim for keeping it to a minimum.
