Look Up

OK, we admit it. We're incredibly guilty of using and relying on our smart phones WAY too much and we're sure some of you can relate. We came across this spoken word film created by Gary Turk that really drives home the idea that "social" media and technology ultimately results in us spending more time alone and becoming more and more disconnected from other human beings.

We think this is something super important to consider, especially for parents. Children often copy what mommy and daddy are doing. Children learn from their parents. If we are teaching them to rely so much on their mobile devices rather than relying on one another, what are they really learning? Do we want them to live in a world where people spend more time on their phones than forming relationships with those around them? Just some food for thought. Would love to hear your opinions in the comments below!
