These Photos Prove How Irrevocably the World Has Changed (13 photos)

Talented London-based photographer Babycakes Romero specializes in unusual and quirky photo projects that explore topics relevant to our society. This time, he decided to demonstrate from a different perspective how dependent modern people are on their phones. We're beginning to forget what face-to-face communication is and are spending more and more time on our smartphones. More and more often, people's gazes are focused on their phone screens rather than on the people around them. Even when we're out with friends, people no longer talk to each other but sit glued to their phones. Romero's photographs vividly demonstrate the gradual decline of face-to-face communication. Could it soon be listed as an endangered species?

Romero's latest works highlight the main problem facing modern youth: smartphone addiction. The photographer dedicated an entire project to this topic. Finding models for the photo project wasn't difficult. You can see people glued to their phones on every corner.

Couples in love look completely different these days. They don't hold hands. They grip their smartphones tightly.

Romero sadly notes that even during friendly get-togethers, people are staring at their phones instead of talking to each other. Face-to-face communication is gradually disappearing from our society.



Great date, huh?



Let's check our email, maybe someone's written.

A romantic date just got even more exciting.



Thanks to your phone, you can sit in a cafe without even noticing who's sitting next to you.

If we don't know each other, there's no need to talk. Better to surf the internet...



A long-awaited meeting of old friends.
