" I don't want you to stop using social media or smartphones.
It's about finding a balance. It's about making sure you are awake, alive and living life in the moment; instead of living your life through a screen."
Teresa P. Annarita S. Rosa M. Sara G. Ada L.
RispondiEliminaThe tecnology is an illusion because we spend hours together without making eye contact so we should close our computers, smartphones and open our doors and after live our real life but it is true that now nobody can live without smartphones or computers!!!
Gary says that "we are a generator of idiots smart phone and dumb people". We disagree with this, because he generalizes the whole population by classifying us as idiots; As for the other phrases quoted in the song we can say that unfortunately he is right. We live in touch with people who express their feelings only through smartphones, social, and other technology gadgets ... so we would like to re-propose one of the most important phrases in the song to open the eyes to all these people: "So look up from Your phone shut down the display, take your surroudings to make the most of today just one real connection is all it can take to show you the difference that being there can make ".

RispondiEliminaThis video made us think a lot because it talks about a very current problem : the dependency on smartphones and social networks . The technology is just an illusion : We prefer virtual friends to Real friends . We're part of this system but We use our smartphones Also to discover New things. So , the technology is a great invention but We have to be careful because if We continue to use our smartphones , We could lose some occasions that could only happen once in our life . So , look up from your phones and live life the Real way.
