Maybe If You Took Your Eyes Off Of Your Phone

Having had guinea pigs in our house and with my son cartooning them there are family members glued to YouTube and they often do look for funny guinea pig videos. That being said we've never see guinea pigs trained to play dead. I'm pretty sure neither Timmothy or Tina have trained their guinea pigs to do any kind of trick at all. Tina loved dressing them up and as you know Timmothy likes imagining them in different roles.

Point is, maybe they did tricks all the time but no one saw it because they were to busy looking at a screen.

There are times, though rare, when I leave my phone at home, especially after busy and productive days.

Michael Elliott when I am not at work I often leave my phone behind for walks and doing chores. I ALWAYS leave my phone at home when we go to worship.

Lately I find myself looking for the phone often but it’s because of the convenience of the camera to capture something I se

I too use my phones camera often Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 but honestly I like using a real camera over my phone if possible.

It seems like at any age, people are more attached to their phones than ever before, making it difficult to fully disconnect or connect!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 I am amazed at how many people in their 70's and 80's use their phone like I use my tablet. I like a bigger screen for reading and for surfing the web.

Good morning Bob. There was a time when that phone was attached to me like a body part, I was active in real estate sales. These days, retired I am learning to remove it like an unwanted wart. And I am doing well, maybe even see what is happening around me more clearly. Enjoy your day.

As usual we are on the same page Wayne Martin . When we go for walks my family is always surprised at what I see, especially with my peripheral vision.

Good morning Bob,

In today's world all ages have a phone and can't seem to take their eyes off of them. Some do a better job than others!

Agreed Dorie Dillard Austin TX . I mentioned yesterday that friends come over to play card and one of those is always looking up info on his phone. The only positive there is he looks up stuff related to our conversation but still I find it a little annoying.

Good morning, Bob... I call my phone an electronic jailer... and while I always have it with me when away from home, it's not necessarily "on." And at home, once I'm done with work, it sits in my office and I totally ignore it.

I can understand them wanting attention, it's difficult to be friends with someone who spends more time on their phone than giving attention to you when you are together, haha.

That's how I feel as well Brian England . My wife has political programs on past the point of annoyance often.

Hello Bob - I feel my experience as a guinea pig connected to my phone has ended.  Well, maybe not finalized but it seems greatly diminished.

LOL, thanks for your insight Michael Jacobs 😊.

My phone is with me all the time in my rear pocket, when I walk Holly it stays there, even if I hear texts, emails and phone calls. I am sure it can wait until we get home, Endre
