Greenwich Village, which is also referenced to as “The Village” is located on the west side of Lower Manhattan, founded In 1799.The neighborhood is closed in by Broadway on the east, the Hudson River on the west, Houston Street on the south, and 14th Street on the north. The neighborhoods surrounding it are the East Village, SoHo and Hudson Square, and Chelsea. The neighborhood is home to many upper middle class families however, Greenwich Village was known in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries as the bohemian capital. The bohemian aspect is what really struck my attention while researching.  The village is known for its colorful and artistic residents that it made me question who or what killed this mood. As I sat in Washington Square Park and observed people I began to realize that the people surrounding me were not giving me the same attention as I was to them. As I was watching them they did not notice, not because they did not see me staring but because they cannot physically see me because they were to involved with their phones. This led me to the question of who is living in this moment? I walked around the park in the morning counting how many people were using technology. My first morning consisted of 32 people either listening to music or simply just scrolling on their phones. Later on in the day it got even worse. From 32 quiet browsers, turned into loud obnoxious phone calls. My data did not change from day to day but from hour of the day. The only reasonable explanation is the hours later in the day mostly had to do with work calls. Society today cannot appreciate the history around them as much as they did when Greenwich was still colorful and bold; we have that constant battle with technology that everything seems to be lost.
