This video really resonated with me. I was a very late adopter to Smart Phone technology, and still have not found that many great uses for it, except for wasting my idle time away, and wasting other useful time away when I could be doing something pro-active.
Having jumped on board now for the past few years however, I still maintain my first rule at all times.
If someone is in my presence and wishes to communicate, the phone gets put down.
And further to this, I actively look out for possible interaction prior to usage and during usage also. Especially with family, and close friends.
I don't want to end up like those at the end of this clip.
After the clip, read on below to see how at tabtourasia we use Smart Phone technology (albeit, tablets) to encourage interaction with others!
As a team building company, we will always claim that communication is always the most important aspect in all company issues.
So we took tablets, and designed programs throughout the Asian region which brings people together.
Friends or business colleagues, guided by the tablet are instructed to plan routes together, find treasures together, create videos together, solve puzzles together, and work together to creative problem solving activities.
And... while you're all enjoying each others company learning new things, our tablet based program will provide avenues for you to meet, greet and interact with the locals in the cities where our programs are based!
