I Don't Need My Phone, I Just Can't Live Without It

     Almost all of my blogs are about the idea of connecting technology with real life experiences. Biro brings up a good point in that we all need a time to be unplugged. The problem however, is can we unplug? She brings up a ton of really in depth questions that I believe are necessary for the public before moving further into an online presence.

     Of course we all say under dire circumstances I could leave my phone at home, but what is the reality here of our relationship with technology? An advertising professor of mine had given us a presentation of the effects of smart phones are similar to the effects of heroin. Most may not believe that, but it is a concern for the public to keep a balanced lifestyle. Another great question is how deep are we truly getting to customers by cutting of the face-to-face? I do not plan on throwing out all my technology yet, but this was a good reminder that we need a lot more chances to unplug.
