What Makes Us, Us.
After hearing and seeing it all day, we begin to wonder, are phones really disrupting our lives in a negative way. Its easy to argue for, as in my case, I more often than not see so many opportunities to spark conversation being halted because the person is distracted and uninterested. It becomes our cheat sheet. We think we need it, but in reality it only hinders our strength to live without it - negative reinforcement. But, what if I told you it wasn't the phones that were so bad, it was the social media. In this day and age, we need our phones to communicate with eachother. However, I strongly believe social media is the root of addiciton and the result of so many missed interactions. Yes, positive comes out of social media, such as connecting with distant friends, but the negative seems to out weigh it. I challenge you to live with your phone, but without your social media and see how little it becomes a necessity in life. Social media is designed to make us believe we need it. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can all said aside our devices and be more open - more ourselves, more of what makes us, us!
