I read an interesting article from The Huffington Post that got me thinking. Every single day I witness people with their phones glued to their hands. I myself am guilty of relying too heavily on my cellular device.
But, what is the problem here?
People have stopped living life, enjoying moments, and just observing their surroundings. Instead, they have started to document any and everything they do and see.
How many times have you gone to a concert and noticed that majority of the audience have their cell phone out video taping or taking pictures? Maybe you have not noticed because you are one of those people. Very often, everywhere I go, I witness people taking pictures to document moments or to prove that they are doing something interesting and fun yet they are not truly experiencing these moments and making memories.
I wish phones and social media did not have such a hold on my life. I want to remember the feelings associated with my memories, not just remember the pictures. Maybe it is time to put the phone down and actually interact with people.
Just food for thought...
