0:00Our phones are capable of keeping us entertained 24-7 if we allow them to. We can shop, make reservations for restaurants and airlines, and there are tons of games available. Text an email accessible through our phones too. We have more power in our smart phones than NASA used to get men to the moon. But as remarkable as our phones are, I wonder how smart they are. Playing spades or hearts online is fine, but isn't the same as playing with real people. The social interaction we get playing together has too many benefits for me to list here, but we are hardwired to be in community with others. Taking that away can leave you a shell of a person. Our phones are great time savers. They're convenient, but it's not to make them too convenient. Remember to take the time to show others that you care, and that is something to consider.
