Can you not just enjoy the music?

I picked up a part-time gig at a concert venue. I get to listen to world class musicians in every genre for free and I get paid for it. Something has been bugging me though, and it is the excess appearance of cell phones while the music is playing. You have a Grammy award winning artist in front of you, and you are watching the concert through a cellphone?! Are you kidding me?! I know your social media is so desperately in need of an update, and everyone must know you are listening to awesome music; but the trouble is you are not listening. Try leaving your cell phones at home for a day and go out and have fun. You might actual enjoy some of that music. Dr Flavius A B Akerele III The ETeam

The age of Facebook with dating and socializing

Image
I have never had to experience dating in the post Facebook world, fortunately for me it did not exist when I got married and I am 100%  OK  with that. Making new friends in the Facebook era is also quite interesting: do you friend them right away, do you wait, do you check out there profile? Inadvertent cyber stalking at its finest. The rules for being social have gone to the darkside it seems; the phone is barely used for phone calls, and there are armies of zombies looking down at their devices while moving through the world and they rarely look up. I have seen near accidents happen all because a nose was buried in a device while walking, and it was not the driver’s fault. Technology can be a useful tool if used correctly, but it can also be highly addictive. I have no clue what the solution is except perhaps we should all be a little more aware of this problem.
