We all do it.
Just a quick check to see if anyone liked our last Instagram post. Maybe a quick scroll through Facebook to check what’s happening while we wait for our coffee. Then suddenly, it’s 3 hours later and we’ve looked at the entire internet. Whoops.
We’re a generation of smartphone obsessives. Our kids can’t get enough of their devices. And our kids’ kids….? Well, there’s a fair chance they might actually come out holding a smartphone.
So what do we have to do to convince ourselves to put the phone down? Because God only knows, being reprimanded in public doesn’t go down well…
Perhaps a little laughter? U.S. nonprofit group, Common Sense Media, has brought out a series of hilarious ads featuring Will Ferrell, which poke fun at a seriously distracted dad at the dinner table. In the videos, dad (Ferrell) is unable to put his phone away during dinner time, despite protests from his kids that they miss him dearly.
“Hey, hey everyone, shut up. This filter makes me look like a cat,” he replies. Sound familiar?
The #DeviceFreeDinner campaign aims to get the whole family on board with some simple tips for a balanced digital life. With family games and activities for dinnertime and a family media plan among the online resources, here’s hoping we can all learn to put down the smartphone and strike up some conversation starting tonight.
And if Will Ferrell can’t get us off our phones, who can?

I can’t express my gratitude to Dr Zuma for making me a living testimony. i have battled with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 for about 6years now, and i have done all i can to make sure i am cured but nothing worked out, but miraculously my friend invited me to see a video on his Blog and as i visited i decided to see few of the comment below, and i found some people talking about Dr Zuma, and i decided to contact this great herbal healer to also help me, so i wrote to him, and he replied me back and assure me that i will get a cure for my HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2. After preparing my medicine he sent it to me and when I started using it for 3weeks i was completely cured, I am a living testimony and assure anyone with the same illness that you can also be cured if you also contact this great man on his Email.

TANGIBLE INFORMATION ABOUT CHRISTMAS LOAN FOR PLANNING…
This is not a normal post that you see every day on the internet where people give fake reviews and false information about excellent financial assistance. I am aware that many of you have been scammed and that fake agents have taken advantage of those seeking loans. I will not call these normal reviews, I will call this a situation where I am a living witness of how you can get your loan when you meet the company’s requirements. It really does not matter if you have a good credit score or government approval, all you need is a valid ID card and a valid IBAN number to be able to apply for a loan with an interest rate of 3%. The minimum amount is 1000 euros and the maximum amount that can be borrowed is 100,000,000 euros. I give you a 100% guarantee that you can get your loan through this reliable and honest company, they operate 24 hours online and provide loans to all citizens of Europe and outside Europe. They sent me a document that was checked and tested before I got the loan, so I invite everyone who needs a loan to visit them or contact them via email: [email protected]
WhatsApp for Europe: +38591560870
WhatsApp for USA: +1 (717) 826-3251
After you contact them, let them know that Mrs. Dejana Ivica from Zagreb gave you the information. Seeing is believing and you will thank me later when you get a loan from them. I made a promise that after I get a loan from them, I will post the good news to everyone online. If you have friends or relatives, including colleagues, you can tell them about this offer and that it is happening this CHRISTMAS TIME.
