Sitting in Mexican Restaurant,I had just ordered. While waiting for our food everyone’s on their phone texting,play a game, or just checking Instagram instead of talking to each other.Cell phones and other devices have distracted us from our real lives.Furthermore, electronics have caused anti-social behavior and distractions.
Always being on the web is the reason antisocial behavior has happened to this generation,texting is a big trend now so why actual talk,our vocabulary has been shortened thanks to abbreviated words in texting.For example,A family play a board game on family game night and everyone keeps checking their phone every minute to see if they have a tweet or a Facebook notification. Everyone these days are too busy with their phone and won’t talk to anyone when they go out.
When in school students are always on their phones listening to music,texting,or searching boy bands on google.We are distracted by our cell phones during the day.For example,a teenage texting maniac’s phone dies while she’s in her most boring class,being distracted by her thoughts “who’s texting me”.When our phones die is when we are most distracted,phones can distract us when they are on as well, always worried about who’s liking our pics on Instagram or snap chatting crazy weird photos.
Therefore, we need to put the electronics down and talk to people who are not on a computer screen and leave our phone in our backpacks turned off so we focus on what’s important “REAL LIFE”.
