After I Saw This, I Put Down My Phone And Didn’t Pick It Up For The Rest Of The Day
I am guilty of this, so seeing this made me sad. I'm going to try to change my habits - for my family, my friends, and myself. How about you?

I Forgot My Phone
Great explanation for this video
After watching this video I thought about my own addiction: my iPhone sleeps next to my bed and I check email when I wake up. I have troubles to read a chapter of a book without checking my emails or if I have any chat message or comment on Facebook. It’s extremely difficult for me to not check my phone when I’m at dinner with friends just in case something “important” shows up. I have troubles to concentrate. I have not even been able to write this without looking at what’s happening online.
Why have we become digital douchebags not paying attention to the best people and moments in our lives?
The fear of missing something cool.
You’re with your friends or your family or you’re at a cool party but you cannot help thinking “is there something cooler around me happening” and “should I join it”? If you have been to the SXSW conference in Austin you know exactly what I am talking about. Everyone is at a party wondering what is the next party they should be at. They go there and start wondering again and it keeps going until you go to bed.

This is so sad, but true.
