Technology has blinded us to what really matters. There is still real happiness around us but if we are staring at a screen we miss them. No phones or screens make real smiles happen.

Our greatest innovation is destroying our society and we can’t even see it. All ages are being affected by it. Cellphones and technology have made our day to day lives easier and more efficient however we are blinded by how much time we spend on them. Many people find pleasure in video games, cellphones, and TV but in person, face to face interactions make better and healthier memories. The whole point of having a child is creating happiness and love. When parents are stuck on their phone millions of cute moments and life changing events pass by them and they don’t even know. Without technology happiness and smiles become real. Parents create strong relationships with their children. Siblings construct bonds that can last a lifetime. Turning off technology can help you mentally, physically and socially. Through this pandemic, we’ve realized getting together has way more meaning. So I hope we can turn off the TV, cellphones, even Alexa and come back to society.
