It never ceases to amaze me, weather I'm in bed or out in public or at a restaurant, how people all have their faces in their phone. Now we are even raising the next generation like that. What's worse is we are all so guilty of it, now are we to blame, sure we all must accept responsibilities for our actions. Yet look how society and media has played their part. For everything "there's an app for that"! Want to save money and get coupons...great!! Do you have to clip them from a newspaper or magazine like in "old times"? Sure sometimes but there are apps for ecoupons too. There isn't a restaurant or store that doesn't have their own app offering "special" discounts or sales. Worried about your kids getting home safe while at work...of course we all do. Do you have to call the house phone and check on them like in "old times"? Sure you could but you have a security system. There's an app for that!! Just click on your system's app and you can see your kids at home and it can tell you the exact time they entered the security code to disable the alarm. It's great, it's fantastic, it's such a secure feeling...it's over kill. It has all made us dependent on our phones sometimes at legitimate acceptable times and for valid reasons yet other times at the most inopportune times and and for silly reasons.
My significant other who I love dearly and will get me later for this, is quite the phone face and is notorious for doing so. See for although there are acceptable valid reasons for needing your phone glued to your face there are also not so acceptable valid reasons and they are called video games. Now Brad can spend a good 5-6 hours AT LEAST playing Xbox and after I coax him to get off that there is a show that I would like to watch (after all that's what TV's were used for only in the "old times"). He comes into bed plugs his phone to its charger (the battery is low cause while he was playing video games on Xbox he was playing on his phone as well or looking up glitches for the game on YouTube). So he sits there and does he watch TV or read a book...no its back to video games or perhaps Facebook then video games. See photos below. I;m sure you are asking why I would commit suicide and post pics well for 2 reasons. I do so 1) with the hope that my cause will not be in vain, that my message will be heard and 2) should I go missing and you cannot find me and are worried "there's an app for that" it's called Find my iPhone!! So remember I know the world we live in has made it tempting and easy to use our phones 24/7. I'm guilty of it myself but everything in moderation. By all means play a game or two on your phone,check Facebook once or twice (not every 15 min). Remember to put your phone down don't become a "phone face" and if you must pick up your phone I hope its to use the camera to take a few selfies and capture a memory here and there!!
