I watched this video yesterday and was a bit chagrined at recognizing some of my phone behavior. I never plan on it, but too long without it and my fingers start to itch.
I'm going to try making a solid effort to put away my phone more. I don't want Evan growing up just remembering a phone in front of my face...

I am TOTALLY that girl in the video!!!!!! I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a smart phone and I find some people are sooooooooo annoying with them!!!! Like do you have to take a picture of EVERYTHING you eat so you can snapchat it to your friends??? And then I'll be with my friends and they'll just be talking about snapchat or sharing pictures on their phones with each other, and I'm like "Hello! You can share pictures when we're NOT IN PERSON!"

I have a smartphone but I dont over use it. When I am out hanging with friends I put it away. It irritates me that I cant have a continous conversation with some people without being interrupted 20 billion times by their phone because of texts, and various social media updates. I think people over do it and it makes me socially awkward

I have a smartphone that I can't live without, but I'm definitely not taking pictures/videos of every single moment of my life. And especially when DH and I are together we try to limit burying our heads in our iphones, unless we're just chilling on the couch watching tv.
I was actually kind of horrified over the weekend when were out to dinner and a guy eating near us with 3 teenaged daughter and his wife spent the entire dinner with his head in his tablet. His teenagers had better table manners than he did :-/.

I do love my phone.... but I make a point not to be on it in front of LO. I do admit that the second I get away, or if DH is driving and LO can't see me because she's in the backseat, I pick up my phone.

I don't use my phone that much, if it lost power right now and I couldn't charge it until I got home, I'd be totally fine.
Where I get nervous is the next generation of technology, the wearable stuff, like Google Glasses.

ugh. i definitely recognize myself in that video (though i do find the girl a little snotty, it's not always bad to want to try to capture special moments!) and i have to make a conscience effort to not bring my phone into lo's room so i can't check it while playing with him.
is it sad that if i go a couple of hours without checking my phone that i feel super proud of myself?!

@travelingnanny: Yay! I'm not alone!! We should hang out because we won't annoy each other!

Ick, this makes me sick. I try hard to keep my phone away from me when I'm with my family now but I do have a problem with being on it while we watch movies or TV shows. My husband refuses to catch me up if I miss something b/c I was on my phone....
