There are those who claim there is ‘danger’ and that being alone is contraindicated as anything could happen.
Being on their cell phone, they believe is NOT being alone.
They do not realise they have put themselves into a plastic bubble so are cut off from society.
Where the person who is walking along the road, noticing the people, picking up their ‘vibes’ is aware of what is actually around them the one on the cell phone is blind and deaf.
The cell phone addict can and does step into holes and tumble down, doesn’t see the pickpocket or the harasser. They miss clues that anyone alert would see.
Although their sensation is that the person on the phone, or the music they are hearing is some kind of ‘armour’ they are in more danger than anyone else, because they are not paying attention.
This subject is such a balancing act.
Yes it is. People have to learn to appreciate themselves and their own sensations.
it’s true … but you don’t need phone to be inattentive. It’s sometimes the desire to be attentive.
But anyway, there is reason why we have law that no one should be seen holding a phone when driving. Yes, not even allow to hold (if you’ve a stand, it is allow…)
It is true. People can be distracted without a phone, but as you pointed out… the phone has caused accidents.
Yes, and usually its not the phone, but the human who choose to use the phone. Sometimes we over-estimated our ability to multi-task …
A lot of people really can’t multitask. the old joke of walk and chew gum is walk and talk.
The importance of being aware of our surroundings is more importune than most realize, not being aware could costs us our lives.
It does. One of my silly friends broke her ankle stepping into a hole. She didn’t tell me she was babbling on the phone, but she’s so litigious that I know what happened, for it it were otherwise a law suit would be filed.
Phones need to be banned with certain activities to try and get people’s attention. But I think we are way past that in the world today.
It is mind control. I said it for many years, then, during the ‘Arab Spring’ there was an article on how the people were assembled in Tahiria Square. Text messages.
Such a dangerous line people are crossing and many do not realize it.
