But simply turning it off while doing family things is just as good as anything else. I just think people need to be mindful and practice a tad bit of moderation. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237058236131496554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871433400980375714.post-39316646603253884472014-04-24T19:53:40.912-07:002014-04-24T19:53:40.912-07:00Thank you so much Brittany!Thank you so much Brittany!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237058236131496554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871433400980375714.post-71916144018301255932014-04-24T13:47:20.012-07:002014-04-24T13:47:20.012-07:00I agree that we need more actual phone conversatio...I agree that we need more actual phone conversations. I don't live near my family or many of my friends, so it's aggravating when I want to actually talk on the phone, and all I can do is get people to text. I enjoyed reading this post.

The reason for getting a smartphone, my family would not let me out of the house. I always get lost I am bad with directions. <br />I agree with you. It is always good to be unplugged. People do not appreciate the reality of human interaction. It is priceless.

I think the more things are created to make our lives "easier" the more complicated it becomes for us to take a step back and look at what we do and the lack of moderation in which we do them in. It is okay to use a smart phone but should it be to the point that you lose touch with those around you? I don't think so and I am so glad you agree. Maybe we are both technophobes but hey at least we can hold real conversations with people. lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237058236131496554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871433400980375714.post-85929913037042038112014-04-22T13:12:26.630-07:002014-04-22T13:12:26.630-07:00I totally agree with you on this smartphone busine...I totally agree with you on this smartphone business. I kept putting off getting one for quite a long time, in fact, the last time I got a phone, my spouse already picked out an iphone, I asked "You got any dumb phones?". I liked my Star Trek-y motorola whatchmacallit razor. I'm a technophobe too. Anyway, my spouse carried that phone everywhere he went and was on it almost 24/7, set noises for email, texts, whatever, so it was going of at all hours. This was going on for fucking... months? Maybe even a year? He almost never talked to me when we went outside to smoke, or when we were hanging out in the living room at the same time. I should have just smashed the fucking thing... and smacked him. Now we both have the same smart phone, and I wonder why I have a phone at all. I guess because it was cheaper to get this new one since they stopped making my "Dumb phone". I always have my ipod, so I rarely play with the phone. Only if I'm at starschmucks. <br />Ain't nuthin' like a good ol' dumb phone stuck to the house.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356119484782485517noreply@blogger.com
