IT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND

Over 6 Billion people in the world have a mobile device of some sort.

How did we live without them?

I am 43 years old, I believe that I got my first mobile device around 22 years ago. But I can still remember life with out them.

Times seemed a lot more simpler, If you can believe it we used to have to talk to each other, there was no texting. We would go over to a friends house and hang out and talk. Now a days there doesnt seem to be any talking going on, everything is text.

Communication skills are lost

In my line of work, I tend to do more interviews then I care to. I used to enjoy interviewing people, but that has changed. People no longer no how to communicate, which makes interviews very difficult. Times are changing quickly, and this is getting worse. There will come a day when we will no longer have to talk. Think about that number I gave you at the start, 6 billion people have a mobile devices. There is only roughly 7 billion people in the world. So 6 out 7 people have a mobile device, and no one see's a problem with this.

This is what you see when you go some where. This is a problem, we may not think it is now but one day we will all wake up and see that it was a bad idea. You can be seen or tracked at any given time.

When mobile devices become smarter than the person using it, thats when you no it has gone to far

I mean look at us, we text and walk, we text and drive, hell we even texted when we go out to eat. Next time you are out, look at everyone they have there heads bent down looking at thier devices. Almost in a zombie like form. You can do anything you want cause they wont notice you.

PUT IT DOWN, IT IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT

Your are missing true life, life that will go on with or with out you. You have to build your life, and you cant do that behind a mobile device.

Some of you that have been on steemit for a while may remember that one if my first post that I did, it was about a young man that was texting and driving, well that young man ran a red light in his truck and just so happened to be that my wife was coming threw that light at the time. If it had not been for the car she was driving (Volvo s60) I believe it would have been a lot worse. So from this I will tell you, it can wait, it is not that important.
