Amen-I notice and abhor it-Sometimes I wish I could fit-in like a 14-year-old Korean girl...

I have subscribed to her channel. She is almost exactly my type of woman *drools*

I don't even own a mobile phone. I just use desktop computers.

I don't understand people that pay money for a live gig and then watch almost the entire thing through the lens of their camera phone. Guyz, in your vain attempts to capture the experience you are closing your senses to the present. It makes me sad watching you do it.

My phone becomes quite a distraction with all it's possible uses.

There was only 5 videos on the channel, can't wait to see more. I posted this other one as well: http://videosift.com/video/You-Hungry

I'm not sure if she and the director are together, so you might have a chance

Recording life instead of living it.

Meh, it's a tool like any other. For me it's a useful tool and one my life is made better by.

So sorry, I'm not going to jump on the "smartphones are sucking the joy out of our lives" bandwagon. I suggest that if you use a smart phone in the way depicted in this video, the problem is not the phone.

Frankly, no-one I know uses their phone like this and if they do, they get called on it pretty quick.

That said this kinda thing needs to die.

There's a way to use technology and there's ways to abuse it. I am completely guilty of buying the latest stuff, and sometimes using it when I'm bored. I make an effort never to use my phone for more than two seconds to check the time in a social situation.

Just a little self awareness is needed.

My favourite was flicking through the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury this year and at the end of Chic's set they invited a bunch of the audience up on stage to dance and one guy clearly stopped to send a text and another was right behind Nile Rodgers the whole time recording it on an iPad.

If ever there was a time to live in the moment...

its kind of sad when you visit a park and everyone there is either on their phone or a laptop. yes, this kind of thing does happen..and ive read that teens having grown up texting need therapy to learn how to communicate face to face. this vacuous culture that idolizes the self naturally creates self-absorbed people who are perpetually distracted by their own private little universes. having been hooked by the constant influx of new information and entertainment, you are really seeing a picture of addicts getting their fix. its generation me, myself and I..too busy with gratifying the self to even look you in the eye
