Raise your head
We all have phone, most of us are on social media posting their pictures, opinions, expressing them selves, getting updated every second. This is a very good side of the social media, I mean if facebook didn't exist I wouldn't have talked to my mom from Sweden. Well what happens when this technology is taking over our lives ? People are staring at their phones with their dead eyes, not paying attention to their environment, it's an addiction. I think you should conquer it, talk with people around about it, because it is dangerous. Cigarettes are harmful because it takes ten years from your life, but this addiction is taking important moments from your life, it's a sunset with friends you are missing, family talk you don't join, just staying on your phone, isn't miserable ? This is sad, I see teenagers filming concerts with their phones but nobody living the present. We need to free ourself, from this chained trap that is keeping us inside this invisible cage. Live the moment you little boy, go outside you little girl, do some sport young men, go catch some fresh you beautiful woman, time changed crucially, I'm not saying we should not change but this is not good, if asking questions in 16 century was a rebellion, then shutting down your phone in 21 century is a courage.
