  1. So true, Ava! The convenience of a smart phone is wonderful, but too often it becomes an interruption that takes us away from what we should be doing. Many have become slaves to their smart phone. No freedom at all!

  2. An outstanding post, Ava! And very timely! I, too, have noticed people tethered to their devices, oblivious to everything around them. Just yesterday, as I was driving, I noticed a girl walking down the sidewalk, her eyes glued to her cell phone. I hoped she wouldn’t miss the upcoming curb.

    I wonder if this practice of shutting out the immediate world says something about our growing inability to connect with people in person? Interestingly, there’s a new name for this awful practice. it’s called “phubbing” – a combination of the words “phone” and “snubbing”.

    It’s a sad day when technology overtakes the ties that bind–or should I say that used to bind?
