I know the irony of posting this on Facebook, but the video is good and might just make you think as it did for me. Makes me think about how when we didnt have a phone all the time we interacted with our friends, show up unannounced just to say hi, go out for dinner and talk for an hour about nothing. How when we were kids being stuck inside what a waste of a day. I know I am guilty of this too, sometimes that phone can just draw you in, I make my livelihood just making these things work for people, but I see something like this and remember how much fun it is talking to that person next to you. I also worry that I let my kids use these things to fill free time, instead of using their imagination. I remember when playing games about digging holes involved a shovel and a treasure map. I remember when a massive multiplayer game was touch football at the field on the corner. I am guilty of giving that box in my hand too much attention, but every once in a while I see something like this and it hits home with me, and make me take a moment to reflect on how I interact with my friends.
