Lonely Planet says, "swap your smartphone for a pencil or paint"

In a recent online article, https://www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-tips-and-articles/sketching-for-travellers-reasons-to-swap-your-smartphone-for-a-pencil-or-paint
the worlds leading travel guide suggests to readers, "Swap your smartphone for a pencil or paint...The ease and spontaneity of capturing the world around us in photographs and video clips that can instantly be shared is one of the wonders of the modern age and an activity that's become central to our travels at home and abroad. However, the digital revolution has also left many of us drowning in images delivered daily via Instagram, Facebook, Vine and scores of other social media apps – not to mention struggling with our own ever growing online photographic libraries."
