People are always talking on the phone or looking at the devices because they don't want to be alone with their thoughts. Or, even worse, they don't want to deal with someone else's thoughts/life/feelings/personality.

Give the people in your life the gift of your presence by putting down your mobile device.

Ze Frank once said, "On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones, and it's easy to dismiss this as some sort of bad trend in human culture. But the truth is, life is being lived there." And it really is. We're not just staring at our phones for fun all the time (yes, sometimes that is true though). Most of the time, we're actually doing work on our phones or connecting with other people. It has really changed the world, how much free range we have to communicate with one another.

Recently, I finally realized that people are held prisoner by their phone. I mean, they are literally called CELL phones. So, here's some things that would be different if we didn't have them.

1. A lot of people wouldn't be famous.

2. Kids would actually play sports and games outside together instead of being hypnotized by social media.

3. I'd be forced to pretend to look at my hand-watch (that isn't even set to the right time) when I saw someone I don't like.

4. We would probably suffer from back injuries from lugging all of this around.

5. You could have quality time and dinner with your family without getting interrupted by a text message.

6. People you're close with wouldn't be so distant.

7. Our newly developed (and insanely popular) ritual of sharing what we eat on social media would come to an end.

8.Drake would be singing "you used to call me on my landline."

9. Guys would actually have to talk to women instead of sending them emojis 15 hrs a day.

10. Tweets would be handwritten notes and retweets would be yelled from windows for everyone to hear.

11. We wouldn't feel like a physical piece of us is missing whenever our phones aren't in our pocket.

12. We would actually have to do our homework... instead of googling all the answers or getting them from someone else.

13. We would see the world through our eyes and not our screens.

14. This is what our social media groups would be like.

15. I'd have to pretend to answer my calculator to get out of awkward conversations instead of my phone.
