Just yesterday, I clicked on a link on Facebook that someone shared.
The title read " If This Video Doesn't Convince You To Put Down Your Phone, Nothing Probably Will."
So I said, "All right. Let give this a shot."
First I thought it was going to be a funny video of a person lecturing another person people post on YouTube just to get viewers.
But I was totally wrong...
After watching this video, I sat on my couch for a good 10 minutes, and watched the video again.
I thought about all those times I was hanging out with friends, out to dinner, at an event, on a date, at work, a party and I was on the looking the the screen on my phone looking at some social media the recent being when I went to visit Iowa for a week.
Looking back at all those times I was on my phone during those moments, I wish I could take it back.
I guess in this day and age of technology and using as it communication now, there are certain exceptions. For instance, I have friends in Iowa that I could make a phone call to, but texting is little more convenient since the time difference is by 2 hours from there to Los Angeles.
One friend texted me right after he saw this video and told me "Yeah man, it's crazy how it just consumes us when we should be in the moment."
I going to do my best to not be on my phone when I am out and about. I realize that it takes everything away from being "in the moment" if you're looking at your phone all day.
Long story short, I wanted to apologize to all my friends for being on my phone during those times.
I hope you accept my apology.
