What Have We Come To? Man Misses Rare Whale While Staring Down At Phone

Do you ever get the feeling that life is passing you by as you refresh your Facebook page or play Candy Crush?

The Egyptians had their pyramids, the Greeks had philosophy and we… well, we have our iPhones.

Photographer Eric Smith captured this picture near Redondo Beach in California. The man in the photo is engrossed in his phone, and seems to ignore the amazing, endangered humpback whale just inches away from him.

If there could be one photo to epitomize the problem with our tech-obsessed generation, this would be it.
