A
short film that depicts the life a young girl surrounded by friends and family who
simply cannot disengage from their phones, this two minute is just sad. “We can
edit and exaggerate, we put our words into order until our lives are
glistening, we don’t even know if anyone is listening.” (Gary Turk) That is the
way we live our lives, We live in world constrained to the four sides of a
computer, tablet or phone and don’t realize we’re stuck in this world of
isolation. This video shows just that, the actress playing the girl without a
phone is living her life, trying to be in the present with her lover, her
friends and family while they take pictures, text and talk to people in the
presence of her. Everyone else is stuck elsewhere, while this one girl is
living her life in real time.
A sad video, it is something everyone
needs to watch. They is no dialogue and no life to the video because everyone
would rather be looking down at their phones than living their own lives. As
adults, this is something we must teach and emphasize to our children. It’s our
job to show them that wasting your life away on the computer is not the norm,
being plugged into a device is not normal or healthy for anyone. Parents be
mindful, be aware of your children’s life and make sure they live it outside
and with friends. Don’t let your children stay in all day glued to a screen.
