Be Careful When Using Your Phone (animated)

In today's world, having and using a phone is the norm. But there are some real dangers that come in to play when we use it too much.
Some people spend every spare moment of their day on it, and they get so sucked into it, that they end up wasting a lot of time.
Like that guy who says he's going on a 5 minute break, but takes his phone with him. What was supposed to be a 5 minute break is now a 20 minute break.
Also living your life through your phone makes you asocial and hurts your communication skills. This is because communicating through your phone is very simple compared to communication in real life. If you're trying to connect with people, and only using your phone and social platforms to do so, you're doing it wrong. That's not how you form real connections.
But why do we keep coming back to it? Why can't we just put our phones down?

Have you heard of NewPipe? It's an open-source video app that is like KZfaq, but doesn't track your data. You can get the app on F-Droid, an open-source store app that has many MORE open-source apps that you can download (donations are encouraged) with NO ads, no data tracking, all for FREE! Sadly, it isn't on the Play Store. You need to look up the F-Droid website and download it. Before that, you need to go to your security settings and deactivate the switch that prevents apps outside of the Play Store from being downloaded, and then download F-Droid. The app has many safer alternatives to the Google/Microsoft/Samsung options we are all used/forced into. Try it out sometime! Like now. Before they figure out who your crush is. O_O

Yeah I have always found text only communication to be severely limiting to my communication style. I rely on a lot of verbal and nonverbal cues such as tone and pauses and even pace of speech, but even a phone call is limiting because you have no eye contact or body language. Video calls are better but still fall short somehow. As a modern society I think we are getting less empathetic due to the loss of conversations in person.

A good hack to avoid social media usage : Use a password manager and manually modified your password Example: real password = "myFacebookPassword" store in your password manager = "my123Facebook456Password" So every time you want to connect to your account, you have to open the password manager, display the password, change it, and then copy and past it ... Since I do that my social media usage incredibly reduced.

And buy yourself a watch if you don't have one! Ever noticed how many people use their phone to check what time it is? They look at the phone to check the time and one minute later don't remember the time. I was that person once. I run a business. My phone stays on my desk no matter where I go in the company and it is always on silent at work. If I am in a meeting, no cell phone. If I talk to customers, employees or suppliers, my cell doen't go in my hand at all.

I've been very concerned about my daughter and little grandaughter because they are ALWAYS glued to the phone! I hate going places with someone who never even talks to you because they can't put the phone down long enough to make a sentence! My grandkids aren't going to know how to talk to people and be a social creature. It's scary. And the radiation and all is ESPECIALLY scary because I don't want my grandkids to become ill from the damned phone! Have you ever walked in to see your kids and grandkids all on the phone? Nobody greets you or even looks up! I think if someone takes the time to come see you and love on you especially , ALL PHONES SHOULD BE PUT AWAY FOR COMPANY! WHEN GRAMMA MANAGES TO GET HER PAIN RIDDLED BODY THERE TO SEE YOU, A LITTLE ATTENTION IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. PHONES CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO BE SOOOOOOOO RUDE AND UNCARING OF OTHERS FEELINGS. JUST MY OPINION.

I think it was 3 or 4 minutes long, but it was fascinating so I watched all the way to the end (you're welcome!). I think this inability to focus/concentrate is what is allowing these politicians (especially the Democrats, but Rebubs too!) and mainstream media companies to literally STRAIGHT OUT LIE to the American people about things like Russia Collusion and get away with it. It should be illegal to do this, but those same politicians gave corporations the right to legally lie and get away with it. It's sad what is happening to this country.
