Phrozen: The Choice Is Yours | Benji Wagner | TEDxPortland

15 July 2015 | Others

Choosing the Outdoors.

He briefly summarizes the evolution of humanity and how we used to be ruled by the nature and therefore, very connected to it. We developed tools that enhanced our quality of life, but in time technology and a culture of technology replaced the outdoors in our daily lives. The speaker describes the pros and cons of our dependency on modern technology, such as the ability to see and understand other places and people, but also the loss of human connection. The speech on technology states we should use it as a tool to make life better and not something that debilitates you. He believes we can use social media and the Internet to break the physical barrier and "use your phone to a window to the world you aren't just going to look through, but step through." In this way tech allows you to have experiences that make your life better. Benji Wagner is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Poler Outdoor Stuff, which he started after a camping trip with friends whom he shared a love for the outdoors with. The idea is bringing together the outdoor and action sports worlds for the first time. He has been a photographer and filmmaker for 20 years and continues to inspire people to get outside through his art and product.
