Hey Fellow Eric!!! Thanks for creating this Awesome Poem!!!
I too feel the need to 'un-plug' on a daily basis - I don't use Facebook or Twitter when I'm on an Off-Period at School (I'm a Jr High Music/Choir Teacher) - and whenever we have our Sand Volleyball games, I leave my phone in the car.
There's plenty of situations where I see people Zombified by their phone while in a public place like a restaurant or bar. I vividly remember a time a few years ago where these 4 'Just out of College' women were at a bar, looking relatively miserable, and then in an instant transformation they all smiled like crazy as one of them took a selfie. Less that 20 seconds later, they were all at their table looking relatively miserable again...
Life is a beautiful thing, and now that I'm 42, I'm striving to really make the most out of every day that I can. I guess I'm just looking for my personal answer to life, the universe and everything...
Upvoted, Followed and Commented!!! ROCK ON!!!
YEAH BUDDAYYY!!
Hey, Eric! Thanks so much for your comment! I totally agree. I believe this is a very hardcore addiction that is only beginning to be discussed and is epidemic. People seem more enthralled with recording their existence for social media than actual enjoying and appreciating their lives.
