If there's one thing that makes me crazy about life, it's pulling a subject with someone who does not get off the phone and shows no interest in talking to me.
Do you know when you chat with someone, and the person is so busy interacting virtually, that does not give you room to continue the conversation?
I do not see any problem picking up the phone to have a look, see if there is an unread message, or an unanswered call, however, it does not cost anything to forget the device a little and listen to what the other has to say.
However, with the advancement of technology, people are getting more and more connected, and they forget how good it is to be led by a prose sprinkled with laughter, lightness and, above all, spontaneity.
A clear example of this is selfie. When I go for a ride, I notice that people are more concerned about recording the moments than about taking advantage of the companies. Not that it's a crime to take photos, far from it, but it's inevitable.
You take the phone, take the photo, edit and want to post it right there. When you realize this, the tour is over and you only bother to take photos.
Singer Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones noticed when he came to do a show in São Paulo at the stadium in Morumbi in February 2016.
Jagger gave an interview to SuperPop, led by Luciana Gimenez. In the lure, the hostess asked him about the difference between the band's audiences. The singer said that "São Paulo is a different audience". And he added that people watch the show through the cell phone. At the end of the interview, he said that São Paulo is the "cell phone city".
Another example that leaves me deeply disturbed is the people who go out for a beer, and even at the table, they keep their cell phone in their hands, instead of talking to the people around them.
Life passes so quickly. The days are getting harder and harder. We live 24 hours connected, and when we find the opportunity to disconnect a little, we do not open to people who are willing to listen.
Sad generation that is more concerned with recording moments than living them intensely.
Sad generation that does not come together, and does not make it worth every moment. Sad generation that gives more value to the cell phone, than the life outside it!
