I won't give the technology too much credit, because in the end it is up to us to control ourselves. <br /><br />I make a point to misplace my phone often.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-19154522469569005602012-05-04T11:07:50.810-04:002012-05-04T11:07:50.810-04:00I loved this post.

I was in the supermarket behind someone furiously texting as she was being checked out. Totally ignoring the checkout person, who was not a little offended as I found out when she checked me out. We need to be tuned in to the people in front of us. <br />My computer is a distraction for the same reason. I think the issue is setting boundaries and sticking to them more than the device itself.Laurahttp://pragmaticattic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-68694535865659598692012-05-02T09:37:33.984-04:002012-05-02T09:37:33.984-04:00My father keeps tempting me.

The caption under the iphone: "Falls on the floor- screen breaks"... and under the nokia: "Falls on the floor- floor breaks"<br /><br />I thought that was hysterical ;) Loved my candybar.
