By reviewing both the YouTube video and the article linked in the post, I really question how much I use my phone. Every notification i pick up my phone even if I don't answer it right away and I spend pretty long spans of time on my phone due to tending to social media apps, checking my bank statements, music for sure considering I play music for 75% of  the time I'm using my phone, texting friends and family and making phone calls, and others that I may not even consider, but those are the biggest contributions of the time I spend on my phone. If I had to guess, Id say on a daily average I pick up my phone anywhere from 50 to 100 times and spend about 4 to 5 hours on it. I may even download the motion app and conduct this study myself, but for the time being I do know that I personally am distracted by phone and it does interfere with the attention given to the people I come in contact with. When I am engaged in a conversation with someone or during class I don't tend to use my phone much at all, but if I am not being talked to or if I am finished my work in class the first thing I think to do is check my phone. At that point, the world around me in a sense doesn't exist and everything else seems to be shut out. Especially if I am walking alone and I have my headphones in and for instance I decided to go on Twitter. I get so wrapped up in what is going on with the feed that I notice whats important like traffic around me and not walking into people but everything else is not even a concern until I hit the lock button on my phone and put it back in my pocket. The good news, I know I'm not the only one because I see everyone do it; teachers, my family, my friends, strangers all do it. The bad news is that this is dangerous because we should be aware of our surroundings and not so tuned into such a virtual world. Cell phones are great and have many advantages that connect us to the world, but the reality is for such a period of time we have in a 24 hour day, we are disconnected from reality.
