Family Social Media Guard


We saw this video today in class and it really sparked my interest. Basically coca-cola has released this video where people wear "guard" so they are unable to see their phones and text messages. Therefore opening up their eyes to the world around them: family, friends, scenary and the worlds beauty. Makes me think if we, as humans, are actually losing sight of the beautiful world. I would counter act that thought with the idea that we almost want to view the world more when it comes to taking pictures and posting experiences on social media sites. yes, we are posting photos but are we actually living in the moment and experiencing these things? This idea really made me think. I think about a family dinner... will I have to void cell phones at the dinner table, am I going to either a) miss my child's experiences or b) catch them on my phone and be able to have their video for ever. technology can be detrimental to experience but it can also enhance it. something to think about....

Check out the video: its hilarious

Are you on your phone too much? I believe we all are, but is it enhancing our experiences or taking away from them? Think about it.
