CATCH THE MOMENT WITH THIS DEVILISHLY HANDSOME CAMERA

- JUSTIN CONNOLLY

I NOTICED the world’s first-ever website - created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee - celebrated its 34th birthday last week.

It was a simple affair - more or less just a text explanation of how to use the world wide web.

Things have changed since then, of course - it’s estimated there are close to two billion sites now, sites of ever-growing complexity, hungry for one thing and one thing only... your attention.

Yes, the digital world certainly takes up a lot of our time, and I can’t help thinking a switch flicked 34 years ago that changed everything. Not all for the better.

Attention is a powerful currency, but it’s ours if we want to keep it, or focus it somewhere other than the tiny screen on your smartphone.

In other words... there's a whole world out there outside the frame of our screens that is begging to be seen. And appreciated.
