Obsessed With Your Phone

I recently watched a quick video with the caption of "If this video doesn't convince you to put down your phone, nothing probably will".  I believe this video nailed it on the head.  As a society we are all so focused on what is going on with our phones and social media sites that we forget to live and miss what is actually going on around us.  I have been guilty of it too, and realized I was.  I am now cognizant of such behavior and try to do better.

Cell phones make it easy to communicate, but I believe we have also lost communication skills with the increased cell phone usage.  I have witnessed some people that now only know how to communicate through a cell phone.  This person(s) can text and send numerous messages via cell phone, but cannot carry on a face to face conversation with the same person(s) when in the same room.  There is an absolute disconnect when this type of behavior is deemed to be okay, yet it seems to be the norm in society.  When I see such a lack of communication skills I begin to worry about how society will be in a few years as such an important skill is lost.  Please take 3 minutes out of your busy schedule and click here to watch this.  Please remember to not be so busy with your phones and social networking sites that you forget to live.
