Well said, phones and technology have their uses and they are great tools. Though they also turn their owners into "tools", me included.

• Beautiful meal has been served reach for the phone
• Best gig you've ever been to reach for the phone
• Gorgeous sunset reach for the phone
• Stranger needs help in public reach for the phone and video them instead of helping them.

It's a pretty sad reality of modern life. For all the benefits, I think we'd all be so much better off without mobile phones and smart phones. My Dad is the only person I know that doesnt have one, numerous were bought for him and remained unopened, a wise man!
