The information age has brought many positives to society, but as with anything, has its downsides. Sometimes we get stuck in the digital world and lose connection with the real physical world. Parkour puts you directly in touch with yourself and the environment. Other activities usually require and object or material (like a ball or a skateboard), which takes away focus from ourselves and puts it onto material items. Parkour makes us mindful of how we occupy physical space, so we can escape from the digital world when we need to.
