I was in the elevator today with three other people . Each one was on their iphones. I wondered what they were all looking at. One was obviously playing a game because you could hear it. The other was probably on Facebook and the third maybe checking emails. I was the only one standing there without my phone out. What did we do before cell phones?
Sure I have Facebook feeds to look at and email to check. But do I have to do it every spare moment I have? I wonder if people get on their phones so they can avoid having to stand there in silence in a little box with strangers. Or if they do it because they think it makes them look cool. I now see older people walking down streets texting while crossing the street. It used to just be kids.
Maybe we're getting used to being fed information every moment of the day and if we're not, then we think we're missing out on something so earthshattering that it would just destroy us not to hear about it. We already know that deaths have occurred due to texting and driving and most of those texts were "where you at?" Just stupid.
I refuse to be one of those people who stare at the electronic devise 24/7 when there are so many more interesting things to look at, like life.
