we live in an ever connected. with gadgets they keep us in the lead all day all night and in all places our obsession knows no bounds. as a tank savvy journalist i'm going to go on a journey to explore what it is that compels us to want to call ways be connected what we know is that the use of the internet elevates dopamine just like them and just like cocaine or other drugs. i want to see how all rejections you can tell technology affects people from all walks of life though business of facebook is

emphasizing the egg essential nature of people now those text we're talking to work and she put it down to not even bleeding internally for like a week and hadn't realized it so so busy on twitter and facebook and social media we don't know if the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely of the wiring their brain will use it for most of the day today. and i travel to the golden state of california the home of many technology companies one of the most connected places on the planet and it's where i will experience my own unusual digital detox.

my name is phil avella and people tell me that i am an addict i don't do drugs i certainly don't have a drink problem that what i do. to social excuse me. i'm on my phone all day every day and my tablet is never really more than a few feet away. if i'm not speaking to people with my voice but i'm talking on facebook twitter instagram and the seemingly endless list of new ways to be socially connected. i am even guilty of posting pictures of food and. most mornings i'm up at the crack of dawn and the first thing i do is check what i've missed.

if. the i pad comes out for me to catch up with friends in far flung time zones where i will say good morning or good night depending on where they are i'll catch up with the early morning headlines over breakfast and then i'll plan my workout on my days meals using various hours. after that it's a pretty seamless transition of. the phone comes out ready for the community in the city. quite frankly i would be lost without it. as a journalist i think but i can't justify this you see i constantly need connection and being up to date with the latest facts and figures is essential when you're trying to deliver the news general election that was always going to be the case

but when work is over the truth is i just can't seem to stop. i didn't luis my friends they feel i'm never really there with them i am constantly connected yet at the same time and disconnected says my friends who have continue to explain to you about why they fail i spend far too much time playing with things like least i should be interacting with them for that i'm sitting on the chair i guess working something i knew i was going to do now i said on my phone i was probably got a refund but for the first time i was on my five years and i messages it very rarely interacts with always on his flying so it's an addiction just to say it's a happy state all of his friends and family tell him but i think he. says he just keeps doing it it's a need to constantly know. what's happening by this little piece of plastic that's the way he excused himself but we want to enjoy

his company and hear what he has to say and have a drink the daemon catch up and see what's going on and we'll just and be involved in a conversation together because i do and i'm not just about to have to say i'm bad we'll sit and watch a film with no t.v. i create an on demand i'll check and i thought why am i doing this so forget about i look at facebook and it's become like a cartridge does not i'm for ever frustrated people be driving somewhere spectacularly beautiful in the countryside is amazing and he's looking a phone to me the focus is wrong but it doesn't matter how many times i tell him i think you know it's a kind of a mild addiction so what makes you think i need to look at what i know as opposed to you question the very very modern you have referenced it was. a chance for fear of missing out but what everybody has been you know these multiply the hours without that issue you know what. i mean. i've not been when we've been filming

this i've not touched my so. began. yeah but you know if i was a cigarette i laid out for the other guy on the cigarettes but you know or an alcoholic out of being out of a drink as if it's ok. i don't know if you know it because it's all your phone off my phone when i do start to get slightly i'm still unsure of what they've said over the speed perhaps not in such a concentrated grin that because they're alternately making a point now but. i mean i can see what they say at the same time i'm the first person that any of these will come to when i can get it working on the phones or. you know i'll be the one that will shepherds arrives so i i don't know if it is a problem but. i'm not sure i'm not convinced. and it seems i am not the only one who is not convinced just look around you you

can't miss it people cannot put their devices away very long. time is so precious we want to spend as much of it as we campaign making digital contributions the thing is we're not even ashamed of it. eva is aware this latest picture from the artist banksy shows just how much this is now a social issue a couple's loving embrace interrupted by the desire to see what others are doing. the increase in the use of huntsville technology is the most rapid in the history of humankind people are taking to these increasingly although i mean just talk us through the way people of adopt the digital devices over the years ok so ten years ago social media didn't really exist at all and now we're at the stage where three hundred fifty million messages are being shed each day on facebook with about four hundred million photos being shed and eight years with a video is created on you tube every single day and really social media has become

. part of the fabric of our everyday life is into woven in everything that we do whether we like it or not it is part of our lives and it's there to stay and if anything we're going to see the rate of growth increase dramatically over the next few years so where do you see it going though you say it's going to be increasing dramatically how dramatically we're creating more data more information than ever ninety percent of all of the data that is being created by mankind is actually being created in the last two years and that's going to grow exponentially we expect in the next two years four times the data that is ever being created will be created and that's made up of largely consumer data plus a lot of selfies it is an awful lot of selfies and the thing is that that's being stored for life and consumers don't understand that the photos selfies that they take today are there forever. is it worrying when you look at for example this week

we saw the announcement of this new watch people are going to be tracked more and more and these these organizations don't just sell these devices as a some of them will make phone calls or something that you can check facebook or twitter or their markets it is everything you can take photographs you can control things is that deliberate to draw people and. what these companies are doing is they're responding by and large to consumer needs in consumer demands while i don't know if you could say that they're creating them as well i think of steve jobs as one said their customer doesn't know what they want until they're shown it now what customers don't know is they don't know the device they want but they know the benefits they want like so if you ask people they say what would you like they're not very good at explaining the technology or even the social networks they want but they know the benefits and so what organizations tend to do is create the hardware or the software which meets the needs and some of those needs are about

south presentation about looking good about expressing to other people the great things in life that you do and particularly that's part of digital addiction that people want to make themselves look really positive to their friends want to show off their lifestyles and so owning the right kind of device at the right time is really important to you and it gives you a social currency and devices that enable them to do that seem to be very successful. the global adoption of hunter technology has been aided and abetted by the seductive lines of the latest sleek designs global giants like apple a synonymous with the almost religious fervor that surrounds the of their products . each event seems to feed an expected following addicted. i arranged to speak to one of our his former in-store tech support and. that the so-called genius bar he's day after day he had to deal with the anxiety of

customers waiting for the repair of the faulty device previously critical of apple he's asked us to keep his identity a secret whether ever signs of violence or real you know extremes that are absolutely absolutely there. there is not much secret made about the loss prevention teams who are exploiting her sex swat teams who patrol partially because what you have x. what teams in the stores and certain services sure why. partially because there is such a high amount of expenses stop you there are several million dollars in the back of the store so bad that works a certain amount of protection but a certain amount of physical protection for the employees also has to do with the fact that people grow very angry when they feel frustrated or when they

feel confused or when they feel stressed and that happens a lot with technology that happens a lot when your technology doesn't work that you personally if you feel these products coming at it absolutely i am happily addicted to my own devices i feel that most of the people who work with me would say the same there's not too much reason not to be to be attached to your device and where is sort of to feel so you're just more attached to the world. the incredible rate at which this digital revolution has hit means that attention we're now living in a digitally divided society there are adults who can remember a so-called simpler time and age when there was no internet there were no connected content to tice's. on the approaching adult hood the know nothing else they having to develop new sufi patterns of online as a kid and behavior challenge never faced by any generation before. do you ever if

you have a question somebody stole from facebook yes. you do know you said that without even without even thinking about something. you would do it. not exactly facebook but. there's a. slight you see the first to look like a. good album like every single. i wouldn't do that so. for them and have a look what they're doing to. create the bow in a way that you know like every single you've got to be careful because when you scroll down you can accidentally like if you. think you're going to be like from like eighty three weeks ago everything is just given so he doesn't fit into the next well it's like the people you've been. that know that you know is that still for you just. because they see in the next day it's like all right there's the whole is like a big games like

a whole. people and people talk to each over if you're applying for the sat about time you start to get like the wrong idea of things from i have a texting is you can always read what i'm trying to say. because you can hear their voice you can sort of see them sort of nodding i always find myself when i'm texting. and i'm sort of as if it was a conversation and i find myself thinking well how do i say about context. when you're texting because it was like quite mean but like sarcastically so right really serious people just i get. from it's a good self by getting the right facial expression is good because i just want to like you know present yourself with like you know all happy and smile you cannot turns people the trend nowadays for male selfies is like when yeah like you squint and then you saw like for your eyebrows and then the head to your forehead. yeah it's true that a lot of the but i. yeah the self i'm pretty guilty of that to say that i like.

adults and older members of the community seem to fall into two groups you've got the heavy uses of technology for work and play and those who are even citing this is the start of the end of society but all of the people i spoke to all uses of some sort when somebody you pursue your facebook and you get somebody clicks like this pops up it's felt like your status how does it make you feel when i first started using facebook i was quite cool you feel quite good perhaps you have seen through it now my ego is ok i think. it's about you know you know when i put stuff up that you know you put a photo up and people put comments and. i remember going back and looking to see if anyone's liked it or not but i can't be doing them anymore i've had enough i just think that facebook is emphasizing the eggs centric nature of people

a sort of breathtaking arrogance and people who seem to think that other people were know. about their lives i just find that so. i wouldn't want to be sharing that you don't want to know with a problem absolutely. well i mean really what i'm having for lunch but i couldn't care less what you have. and more i wouldn't say i was addicted i think. perhaps a lot of people music is addicted and they're actually made perhaps it's more a compulsion to keep wanting to have a look at facebook or instagram or. i don't like the feeling when you go on holiday and you haven't got a very good signal that spoils my holiday as you go camping is the caraway get away from all oh yeah you get away from certain things but i don't like getting away from feeling connected if the signal bar drops down too low or the snow for. that's a holiday ruinous. and there are three g.'s look at about you know into that these

days yeah you're a preacher. i must be addicted because. i have a mobile phone and you know i carry a laptop around with my number. so i'm not left behind it's a great tool for following your family when you're not close it's you know like skype or bill these things are terrific to see if they used properly i get i get physically i physically excited and stuff makes me smile if i see a bit technology and i think while there's somebody here that is going to either save me time is going to be useful you know if i didn't look at my. email for a week i'd have five hundred emails and a lot of them would need need actioning i'm brutha this is it is i mean there are some bambaataa just haven't got time to manage to reply to the full. does. me slightly i kind of feel like this. need someone tell me have to do.

you know. i think i'm going to fly the flag just irresponsible joy it's not attached to the demands of other people either through work or just because everybody's out there and accessible. i'm starting to think that my use of technology isn't really about it's certainly not any more or any less than lots of the people who i speak to so surely we can all be addicted can we check it at a clinic in connecticut with dr david greenfield a professor of psychiatry and a man who claims to be able to cure people with a digital addictions could i be classed as another by your self diagnosis well i don't i don't know if you're an addict i mean the question is do you feel uncomfortable if you don't have your fix of technology or have your phone with you all the time so you probably fall into a category. at least abusing it and somebody that might look at their level of view

we're going to help you begin to desensitize your use of digital technology or the internet and the way we do that is using a device that uses a technique called. the r. stands for a movement desensitisation the reprocessing so what we're going to do is i'm going to ask you to imagine. on a scale of zero to ten. what it would feel like to not have your phone with you for a period of time your eyes are going to follow the lights as they move back and forth and there's going to be an audio signal that will also move back and forth what this does is is the hemispheres of the brain and what i've seen when i've used it is that it can actually lower the experience of discomfort or craving for something and somebody has lived through this natural physiological response and what we know

is that the use of the internet and particularly certain tahn tent on the internet elevates dopamine just like gambling does and just like cocaine does and other drugs. what the internet is is it's the world's largest slot machine every time you go on it whether it's to search for a piece of information check an email a facebook update a tax it doesn't really matter the fact that it's unpredictable in terms of what and when is what contributes to the addictive nature of the internet because that variable ratio reinforcement schedule is the way a slot machine operates that's why people stand in front of a slot machine all day long pushing that button hoping that they're going to win something because every once in a while they do what that means is that you have to not get what you want one of these devices for a long long time. before you put it down and not pay attention to it anymore.

having had the therapy i've got to say it didn't really relieve my desires to be connected but his theories do seem logical and this set me thinking about where all of this started the reality is that our addiction to gouge is submerged from our use of new technology developed here tech central also known and silicon valley you only have to drive around to see who the big resident saw in this neighborhood the home of startups and global brands like apple and google this place has a reputation for turning small ideas into life changing obsessions in two thousand and thirty social networking giant facebook was the name on everybody's computer tablets and phone with the stock market hotel the creation of the world's youngest billionaire mark zuckerberg ritually working with mark in the early days his sister randi she subsequently left and written about tech addiction and the message from

her is clear do not get hooked is there almost like a collective responsibility for this place to to say to the world you know it's just watch out here after i left facebook i spent a year about traveling the world and just talking to people and saying you know is technology and net positive in your life if you feel like it's not why isn't it and i think people and suck about it it's easy when you're here to get caught up in that world of you know what are we disrupting today what are we innovating let's go let's go but when you pick your head up and you talk to people people are scared of technology and all this rapid change they're overwhelmed by the change that it's bringing to their families to their work to their love lives to everything we're walking this really fine line i think all the time with tech because it's creating all this innovation is creating so much opportunity but with any new innovation there are all these complications that come after. in fact sometimes along after

the fact that we don't know for example we don't know the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely rewiring their brain in a new way that's going to render our current education systems just completely moot i think as a society we're getting a lot more conscious around what wellness means and it certainly doesn't mean being glued to a device twenty four hours a day worrying words from someone who wants advocates is always on and being always socially connected and the irony is that just up the road from silicon valley is somewhere trying to help those who just switch off tomorrow i will enter a digital detox program called grounded i'm going in as a journalist but i'm going to be on the cover because i can't once we've handed over the last technology in their full full days we can't use our real names there is no talk of work allowed the outside world might as well not exist question is

can something like this really end our obsession with technology. reporters retreat in a brutal civil war if the commodore hadn't been the israeli invasion would not have been so world the commodore had become a journalistic center you could be in a safe enclave and then you went out into civil war i started off leaving this suite at the commodore hutto the next room i was in was underground and a tiny prison so as a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera and investigation into the real powers that control the world health organization their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health can they be trusted with building a healthier future if their loyalty becomes questionable these are the people that are one and one portion. is it getting more difficult for you now that w h o s. who

says don't trust. that you trust on al-jazeera. hello again adrian so they can hear in the headlines on al-jazeera police in france looking for a gunman who killed three people in the eastern city of strasbourg eleven others were injured when the attacker opened fire on their christmas markets in the city center. gave us the something to short time ago was a huge police operation as you can imagine in stride for as the police are trying to find the shooter because what we know is that around eight thirty local time in strasbourg a man opened fire near the christmas market in the center of the city throwing

people add that marketed gone for an evening of shopping and socializing it's absolute panic we now know according to local prosecutor that these two people were killed now earlier there were reports of four people but that's actually been revised down to two people and there are still several others injured now the man who opened fire is a twenty nine year old man he comes from the city of stress point he was actually known to police he was on the intelligence services watch the list there are reports that some backbench conservative m.p.'s in the u.k. are preparing a no confidence motion against prime minister to resign may she's been visiting you leaders to get changes to a breaks it deal she agreed less than three weeks ago they've told me there will be no new negotiations. time magazine is named as its person of the year along with journalists from the u.s. myanmar and the philippines they're described as the guardians who were all

targeted because of their work the government in turkey says that it's in talks with the u.n. about launching an investigation into the show she's murder the chief financial officer of the chinese tech giant huawei has been granted bail in canada after agreeing to put up seven and a half million dollars and surrender her passport among one joe was arrested on december first on suspicion of violating u.s. sanctions on iran president donald trump assert her release could be part of a broader trade deal with china and google c.e.o. as testified before congress about concerns of a previous c. and accusations of bias google's faced criticism from republicans including president donald trump who say the search engine has a left wing slant the company is also faced criticism over its plans to relaunch a sense of search engine in china there's the headlines turn let's get you back to al-jazeera correspondent.

my campground experience starts to soon as i join my fellow companies on the morning bus right there. real quick we get done. about how to get on that we now that. it is a no holds barred american experience city songs on the final opportunity to get our last internet get. it. out. there we are the costs of coming out. i. thought there was. a reply at the bottom of my foot away because it's out for the. greater good but quite honestly i'm a shy brit he was way to step i may be smiling on the outside but inside

filled with threats the next few days i'm still. gets a bit of a weird experiences like the first place cool political goodness i found a little bit lonely festina been here a few hours i was thinking human in the real world and i was told be to search my phone a lot you know just fiddle as a kind of way of not feeling like you know i'm sort of the outsider here but a confidant and it's a kind of situation where you have to make an effort you have to talk to people. you know and if you're shy which i. in some circumstances then it's kind of weird having to do that but that's what the whole experience is about. what camp rules

are really clear they state that we must lock away all of our devices for the anti a generation of our state we will see them again of course but at the end i've got to say it feels really awesome honey and one of my most treasured possessions i want such done we are pretty divided into individual camps claimed after animals so square as punches and so on i am in the bear camp and our mascot as a psyche pink bear joined by our jealously guarded kampf like the new likes six or seven people in our village called by small village called the bird species and like a whole lot. of science which we're probably going to later in front of everybody has to be really weird. started off with meditation which i went into you quite closed minded lee.

and then there was some weird bonding games. you know there's always people so shouting things to be really quiet corner of a quiet little brace life where my. business is totally bonkers. there and it was a real effort to to join in and not kind of just sort of look at life as an outsider. what is going on here but again it's a night it's going to be a pair of boots how welcome thing is that and i'm p. fear to which they were going to there's a band and we'll have the door kind of group down soon it's it's already crazy i'm going to five quite difficult to join in without thinking you know what over my theory here.

the end. was. there was her date. or there was this was.

her was to take yes for show how. they would be really weird if we didn't have you guys picked up by me. and so we're going to get into a bit of a. play dance and the ability and sharing and crying and creating and making and acting and sitting in trees and sitting in your incentive with people that are named silly news and then i brought. that up and we're going to have surreal moments. that they're honoring that have been in my head he had. the must of mind behind all of this is the charisma. leave i better not here by his company. so i was working in los angeles as a vice president of

a tech company is twenty four years old and building technologies that help nonprofits get the word out and raise money so good great job fantastic environment working sixty hours a week at i phone and a blackberry had multiple laptops left on my phone and my bad you know living the kind of silicon valley tech we dream in los angeles and so one day i felt really sick so i stopped at the hospital on the test the my blood and found that i was actually down to about thirty six percent of my blood left and i found a small laceration i saw for years and i didn't bleeding internally for like a week you know hadn't realized it so i was so busy caught up on twitter and facebook and social media and building technologies that help change the world that i was so disconnected from my own reality and so we have a job that we can get away and we can see and play. and it's amazing. after taking it to your retreat in southeast asia you came back to the u.s.

now knowing what to do and ended up in there and cisco and i got on a street corner and i got on a bus and everyone on the bus was like this and i just left southeast asia where i was on buses of knowing is about my language of connecting with everyone now i'm back in time to save my home and i can't have a conversation with anybody because everyone's face and they're going to hear us so a few months later we realize that everyone is always on everyone is at the level that i had been on for years before having followers and and always connected to their devices and worried about their own personal brands instead of their own personal families and so my girlfriend my partner and i decided let's take people on retreats and so that's when we want. summer camp. i'm on the cover in the camp to try to have an authentic experience that makes it difficult to come and tell you just how i'm really feeling i find a. and join the cum fire to sneak out and speak we just heard another big session

about what's come far as we have lots of singing we sang the campground the theme song which was all about facebook and tell you my book prof and your i phone going out of the tree. it was a really cold we experience didn't warm to it at school i felt quite excluded up point and that was when i want to just kind of immerse myself in my own little world you know quite happily i would have pulled off and just saw there and played with it in the end i just sat there for the of my life's test tried to look like i was really enjoying it made by the end the three i'll be feeling from a lot different. tempo does change a lot throughout the day it's probably been put together very scientifically you know there's probably some kind of psychology involved i'm sure there is take this

morning for example we were one came first light. since time is band here they only time is now that's where you told us this. i assume it was about half past five. or so and. we got up on some coffee and then there was yoga which was very nice and peaceful it was first light in the same script and the truth is i was very pretty. and then we went back to. to our village villages we'll have breakfast together and it's kind of all eggs and going all the natural stuff and then we have a bonding thing where we come to create a den you know it's like being six years old again there was an old top hole and there's an old sheet christmas tree birthday.

boy what reflection tied very height. as well can. there when you go in. hibernating for the council that the lunch time they. don't pull in a lot the fairway. sits in and then all of sudden athletes. they decided that we were all going to sing songs but of course you know this is very important we have to replace every song lyric with the word the out so you know it's solid surreal. and it was a real contrast last night you know last night as it was sitting around the room i

was thinking what the hell is going on here where are my keys he'd like to present and i was like just tell you in the front. what's this like a real temperature and it's quite emotional drain and what's also you know this feels very rewarding order so far. at the camp were provided with lots of creative activities presumably to keep us distracted from our devices and maybe to fill the void left over by hunting and also. to remind us how reliant we've become all technology there all the other logs . now have to use human powered search engine this wouldn't inbox a disposable camera and of course we have to use a typewriter if we actually want to write anything i decided that i was going to write a diary or a journal as they call there and there's an area just over that way which is called

the typewriter range which is a converted shooting range glitch just a bank of eight or ten of my brothers. all modern technology here isn't it. he would have walked past this in an office back home you say you wouldn't notice it but actually a really beautiful piece of machinery you know i mean it really frustrating because every time you slightly casual attitude and pop together they get stuck in your stocking and pull market include your finger. to make she calls. herself and also and it breaks the concentration and then find yourself drifting off to your things . which. you wouldn't do if you said you were locked up because you just could be faced out focused but still we all find ourselves and i i know i'm not alone in this pulling off phones out of our pockets and just checking the anyway whether we not in there but we do it so that's why that's so kind of hope that

somebody is trying to get contact with us. people have been talking about this ransom vibration think where they are imagining their phones are in their pockets five rating which sounded kind of weird. and a bit farfetched but it happened to me three times yesterday i had my disposable camera in my pocket you know there's no there's no. power in that at all it's completely mechanical. and i actually did feel vibrations in my pocket and i mixed in them and realized what we doing nothing in there off my camera. but it was it wasn't what it was a mental thing i actually felt it so. the disposable cameras vibrate and. probably not maybe i'm just going crazy. but you know this is what going crazy feels like then a quantity of creating is it's really nice. people

are grounded to escape being interviewed for television is definitely not on their agenda but two of my companies and lego have agreed to appear on camera. we find that you saw it's full of it it was like the problem was it was a real issue part of it is like i did a long list of people in the moments you know much you know facebook and what i used to be and i got off about three years ago and part of that was i find myself i found myself always finding a moment to share and realizing i actually didn't enjoy the moment it was more about i got these trees how can i share this moment with other people as opposed to me just enjoying the tree enjoying the scenery and so i found that to be a problem i found myself never really being in the moment always trying to have

other people here with me here they were never there you know we'd be at the dinner table i might go to lunch with three or four coworkers and you know what we're saying now you're always takes you know you're talking to work and to put it down first i'd get upset because they're geez i mean do what i need to do within a sort of realizing that when i sort of seen other people that i understood. why i was so bothersome you know because it was like what is. what is it that's so important out there that i took the time to sit down with you that you have to do something else and i realize that that's what i was doing as i would like and i'd be take just half an hour with this person. who treats you story reminds me of the life i'm trying to leave behind i'm just not so departing in a day or so and come to mind i'm like you and i consider most whites and you know when you detox and fight life's. so you and i both leave right we go have another conversation our friends and we're both really trying to engage

and they're checking their phone the whole time we're going to say to me so annoying right how how i think about like that like what's that going to be like am i going to say something i'm going to be like can you put that away for a little bit can we have half an hour early how my going to deal with that because you know i think about that if i'm going to put energy into this conversation and connecting with you in the right eye contact how long i'm looking for the right now the right with no limited or no distraction right when does that ever happen outside of here right because someone will break it right and probably because of a phone yeah yeah interest me so i know my my mom died last year i lost my. thank you i'd never. thought about it and so you just mentioned it then but she was ill for a long time and she was. especially me that was one solid body grilling that became her bedroom. ice that she got when i go home to see her and she'd be talking to me

and i'd be on my phone you know and. she was trying to engage me in conversation and i was just you know yeah yeah yeah. yeah everything away treating some people who i don't even remember who they were you know now so. and talking. in the quiet seclusion of the forest is giving me the time in this space. i need for reflection. and before our evening meal all of us are being encouraged to go back to our villages get changed into white clothing and take time to pause to reflect on super pac. trust him once because it was the summer solstice it was the longest day of the year so there's going to be some salsas dana. let me reach hunt is

a stray small brown envelope envelope inside it some just a small piece of able to talk about how fears of things that hold you back. that it was a small pencil and that it's such an everyone should write of own fear that for one thing we feel like sphere all regrets because we haven't done it tonight. the big bell rang. everybody likes on b.'s just started to turn around to the trucks sort of walking towards the towards the main area so this kind of gently moving queue which was leading towards a big bonfire had been set up people were going in there and they were they were throwing the fine. fine for its food there were threats the fears the things that they were told that they should get rid of.

types of the time it felt i felt a little bit cultish like this was some kind of weird religious cult if you've ever seen the seventy's movie the way come out if you know all these kind of weird people just walking around and then there's this kind of big battle be wrong of this people throwing things on board fire no one's talking. are saying this is some kind of science some are going to happen it's news of the supply chain it pops a minute. but so i thought about the thing that i put in that regrets. it was like it was and i know that sounds really silly and you know you might watch as the think he's going crazy he's become assimilated or it's been affected by this group mentality this cult thing but. you know of course i know what it was and it's something that i have always regretted but. i don't regret it anymore because it's gone now it's done and it's prostitutes or if i feel like it's left me.
