MY NEW "NO PHONE"

 

Ok, so I'm hopping onto my soapbox here

and in case you don't already know,

I have a little thing against the constant

use of mobile phones!

 

I know they have their place,

but does anybody besides me get really

annoyed when they're trying to have a conversation

with someone who is continually txting

or facebooking or whatever you can do on these things??

 

Well, I recently came across this great project

called the "No Phone", and I just had to have one.

 

Here are some of its selling points:

 

And hey, I got the selfie upgrade (yes another pet hate, who

wants to see a photo of someone's face that's

taken at such an angle that you either look

up their nose, or down it, making it much

longer than it really is??).

 

 

Yes, it has a thing called a 'mirror', so you can

'take a selfie'! Or clean your teeth or arrange

your hair etc.

 

 

And here's some of the instructions that came with it:

 

 

Toilet bowl resistant!!

Now, that's got to be a plus doesn't it?

 

Oh, and shatterproof! And waterproof!

 

Basically, put down the phone,

and LOOK UP!!

 

It's amazing what you can miss while

 you're gazing at a screen.

 

God's beautiful creation passing you by,

a smile from a stranger,

a hurt look in your child's eyes,

a word of encouragement,

a word of advice,

someone that needs us,

and the list goes on.....

 

Now, I'm not saying that I'm perfect,

I've been guilty of ignoring others

around me because of a screen,

but I think we all need a wake up call.

 

Nothing can ever replace face to face

conversation and interaction.

 

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!
