It’s estimated that there are 7.2 billion smartphones in use by 4.8 billion unique users – that’s a whole ‘nother post – but it’s reference for this one.

Each one of those devices is more powerful than the computer that powered the moon landing.

If our phones have that much power, Mars can’t be that far off, right? But, with profound respect to the visionaries who want to get us there, I ask, shouldn’t we have already made it back from Mars by now?

Owning a device capable of taking us to the moon doesn’t make us astronauts. It’s how we use it that defines what we become.

How we use all that power is another example of when theboss has afforded us the opportunity to figure something out – a classy problem.

And what do we do? We take pictures of our food and of ourselves.

All classy problems are the byproducts of unearned wisdom. That’s why I’m much closer to being a photographer than an astronaut.
