Look Up

My wife showed me an interesting video the other day called "Look Up". It is about the dramatic impact technology is having on our relationships.


Smart Phones are making us Stupid. We have hundreds of acquaintances but very few friends. I know that I am just as guilty of this. I have spent hours playing games, watching Youtube videos, and scrolling through Pinterest. As I mentioned in my first post, we don't have a Facebook now, but when I did, I would waste hours Facebook staking. However, if I was stranded somewhere, none of my "friends" would come pick me up. 

I will be taking a 40 day fast from digital communication and video games. If I want to talk to someone, I will actually Talk to them. No more texting, emailing, or commenting through social media. I want to have real relationships again. I invite you to examine your own life and determine how you can improve your relationships. I wish you luck.
