The internet bothers me at times because I feel it takes away people being creative in their own environments. Always looking to do and see what others are doing instead of being original.
Chance is 100% right.
I had a broken cellphone and did not replace it for 3 days. My sister in Atlanta had called me, unknown to me, and called my other siblings in Texas, Florida and Georgia thinking something happened to me because I did not call back in 3 days.
I loved being not accessible for those 3 days.
My husband and I literally just had this conversation. I remember when i was younger, im 46 now and we never saw dead ppl or blood, bullets on the news. I can't right now watch the news w/o being so sick with the topics and definitely can't watch with kids in the room. The world is too desensitized now and thats so sad.
19:00 - 24:24
Chance you'd be surprised how many of us do this exact thing. Periodically taking fast from social media, phones, certain foods, environments. Simply because we despise being "addicted to anything" and take pride in not being so attached to anything. I love when Chance allows the spirit to speak through him..even if subconsciously he sees it as his own words. For there's many men who need to hear other men validate the voice of God we're hearing. He's always speaking . Very good my boy✊🏽
So many things from growing up are gone: going to the library, writing a letter, sending a thinking of you card, calling friends on the phone and talking for hours, running an errand and not think about who’s trying to call me.
All of these you've mentioned you can still do. I just grabbed like 5 books from the library
@@educate2cre8 I had reference to the younger generations doing these things.
@@jwiggins4765 ahhh ok
Yes don't let technology be your kids babysitter. And we adults should not let technology be our pacifer
Well said!
It’s true
At restaurants no one’s socializing unless they on live or taking a pic 🤳
Last night we met to celebrate a friends bday & no one danced everyone was on phone
I felt like I was the weird one cuz I won’t on mines 😢
In spite of all the good things, studies have shown that children are retaining less information in their learning and that social media us having an impact in mental health. Plus, human imagination is not being cultivated and nurtured. Balance.
As I sat and "listened" to you (on my computer), while playing on my phone with my Ipad open too, I realized where I am and how addicted I am. My husband and I are constantly in separate rooms on our devices watching and listening to things. This was very helpful.
My grand niece owed me some money. When I told her how much she owed she asked me if I had VENMO or Zelle. I replied, neither….I’m old school and prefer cash…she sent a text to my sister, her Grandmother, who was downstairs, if she (my sister) could give me cash…since she never carries cash! She is 18 years old…it was an eye opener for both of us.
Great conversation! This is why my students struggle with social skills. Dialogue is nonexistent. Everything is answered with one word answers with no explanation.
CHANCE SAID PARKS ARE EMPTY, WOW YES THEY ARE. GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
I think ppl in this age think they have the right to have instant and 24 access to you! My Ex would want to text and chat all day even at work, and if I was busy seemed like an issue. I remembered working jobs where I didn't speak to my significant other all day. I would tell my family and friends if it's an emergency call me. I think having a break from ppl really gives you more time to connect later on and really focus on the time spent together versus talking all day non-stop. I don't have any social media but my UA-cam usage has definitely picked up which I'm not a fan of either since it's information overload at times.
I get it. People need to learn boundaries and it's our duty to give them boundaries. Life is so much more busier and harder now. People need space and time to be quiet lol
Thanks for sharing this important message. Technology is has many pros and cons. I made a decision to delete my IG account this summer. I haven’t had FB in 8 years. I’m in grad school for cybersecurity which has changed my perspective about oversharing. I was also inspired by my Brother and Sister-in-law. They’ve never had a social media account. We usually spend Sundays together eating and catching up… no phones… just family. 💞
I’ve replaced my time on social media with reading, running, and yoga. I love being outside.
‘Digital Minimalism’ by Cal Newport is a great book to read to learn more about life without social media.
Technology is also slowly killing physical labor to where now there's self check out or bots acting as store security and jobs are being lost😢
Forgive me for having so much to say bur technology has also taken food off of our artists table to the point where we can download their music vs buying the actual cd
Good point
Great conversation! This is a constant discussion in my household. Technology has totally shifted humanity. It’s important we speak with our elders to remember what’s true while navigating these devices and platforms. I think taking breaks is imperative for grounding and reconnecting with self.
Global communication is profound but it’s contradictory if you’re texting the people in your home. I thoroughly enjoyed this 🙏🏾
Absolutely MUST record our Elders who are still living to hold onto our history or it may be lost.😢
I’ve done a 40 day fast last year for lent - no Instagram and I have a limit amount of hours per day. I’m like Chance I don’t like being addicted to anything. I feel so horrible amount myself when I’ve been scrolling for 2-3 hours - just terrible
Yesss! And I don’t like for family and friends to come visit and scrolling through their phones while visiting. I would prefer you to not come over if you’re going to be doing that.
I pray it does go down…so it can wake up all the zombies walking around!
Social media ain’t social! People have forgotten how to be genuinely nice and kind to others! It’s definitely a blessing and a curse!
I agree with Chance, technology has made it bad because my son is 15 yrs old and is always on his phone. He's an excellent student but he doesn't hang around any teenagers or play any type of sports.
Same for my 16 yr old daughter
By the way it's a two parent household, his dad is around but he works and comes home late most days and work on weekends also and he wants to have time but he's tired when he gets home. It's just hard but our son has been content and understands. I was born with a disability so I can't run like a normal person and try to play sports with him but we do go out to the movies when there is a good movie that comes out that he wants to go see if it isn't on the streaming devices.
This is so right when I came up you went to the encyclopedia now your cell phone is your encyclopedia. Now my grandson asked me what are "they" for😂. And l can also remember when I wrote a paper on how cellphones were becoming a leash because we always had one on our hip yet they made our memories of our loved ones numbers null and void because we just needed to push 1 button. Please don't loose the phone the numbers were lost if you didn't keep a back up in the beginning. 😢
We definitely have to take a break from social media it’s has us in a chokehold mentally it’s a gift and a curse 😢sad truth!
I got off social media about 4 years ago and haven't gone back. I did it because it was becoming too addictive. And was controlling the way I was thinking about myself and my family.. comparison.. negative comments.. depressive feelings.. I felt God leading me to take a break.. tried one time to go back and got a headache. Lol
The internet and the cell phone are dumbing Us down.how meny phone numbers do you remember
That was a much needed to be talked about subject. Thank you Tabitha and Chance Brown.
Agree. And don't let technology do the thinking for you.
That Same God New Me Hoodie is 🔥
Yes!
Love it
What a good conversation ❤
Tech Pro: we able to quickly contact someone on the other side of the world.
Tech Con: we are going to see illiteracy rise.
I haven't been on any social media sites since February and I honestly don't miss it. I was addicted to seeing family and friends and people who I admire and it went on for over 12 years. That's how I discovered Tabitha Brown, one of my favorite people. But it does become a desensitization of the human nature of connecting with other human beings. I no longer connect with a lot of people because they're on Facebook and IG. I'm not ready to surrender my human life to the internet yet. I enjoy seeing you on UA-cam now but I don't give it as much time and attention when I was using Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok to connect with other human beings.
Hey gurl hey, The internet has Decisized human beings, It has taken away the humility of a human being😢
♥ A much needed conversation!
I so understand, I find myself checking how long is a video, how long will I have to engage. Technology has affected how we interact with each other
This was a great and well needed topic of discussion.
Such an impactful and needed discussion. We need more of these. 😊
Thank you. I was just thinking like this a week ago.. A great reminder. Being intentional with technology is key!
I agree 💯 percent. I never fully accepted technology as a way of living despite its advertisements and I leave my phone home when I go for walks just because. Excellent and needed discussion. Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏽💕💫⭐️
I still have a land-line in my home. I use it for faxing and as a second number in case I don't have phone.
My kids would text me from their room all the time....they aren't home now because they are out on their own....I would go to his room and tell him, if you want me come get me, don't text. It drove me crazy that they did that!
For those of us raised before the early 2000’s we would adapt and go back from muscle memory how to survive. If the internet was to disappear for a moment
Thank you Chance!! You brought a lot of prospective to me…I too am going to challenge myself to put my phone down…this was such an enlightening conversation! Love you both ❤
It’s definitely the worst thing that could have happened to this world it’s a gift and a curse at the same time really. But I definitely don’t use social media much .
Yes I agree Chance, The cellphone is definitely a game changer and people think if it rings we should’ve answered it. 24 hour access. Those that remember the landline an answer machine, you would be waiting to see who needed to talk with you. In the same breath if my children don’t answer their phone or call me back I do go to that worry mode
I’ll be right back let me go place my SAME GOD NEW ME order
Excellent topic for discussion!
Phones and Social Media is raising these kids
💯
Yessss!!!! This is right on point!! I appreciate this video go Chance and Tab!!
This is an amazing topic. I posting this to my social media. Thank you both for the eye opening advice and information. But the transparency is 🔥. Love you both.
Chance, I totally agree! Tab, I love Donna's Recipe!!!
It's a hard visual Chance! I remember when going out was a luxury and an opportunity to spend QT outside of the home. I've seen couples on dates, but not engaged AT ALL
And kids don't know how to tell time from the face clock that we learned from
YEP
My landline is Vonage. It goes through the internet 🤷🏽♀️!!!! I’m a senior citizen & in the 50’s,60’s etc. girls were taught not to leave home without a handkerchief & a dime to call home. (Later it was tissue & a quarter)Those days are over. I’ve been on Zoom, since the pandemic. I had a pager,then a cell phone since the mid 90’s. I left it in my glove compartment in case I got a flat tire. My spouse talked me into getting it. He was a gadget guy. Now I’m past 69 & addicted like everyone else. I feel lost if I forget my phone.
I do the same day chance. I put reading my Bible in it’s place. It gives me a sense of strength when i can lay down social media to keep it from having power over me. I control it it does not control me 🙏
When we had phones with cords..we were free. Now that they’re cordless we’re bound. We lived our lives more authentically without as much technology. I’m not anti tech but I feel things were better without so much access to so much information.
📌
Those reels are addictive
32:18 yes! We model behavior for our children, so must be mindful of what we do in front of our children (technology)
Horribly in alot of ways.
Causing more harm. You know they have to add in some good so people won't notice the negative as much.
They say generations will be wiser but weaker. I believe this to be mental vs. physical.
I grew up knowing the internet in elementary school and growing up me and my brother (2000 and 2002 babies) had limits for how long we could be on the internet or watch tv after school. My sister was born in 2008 and had a tablet in her hands around 2 years old. I definitely see a difference in our abilities to concentrate, do things outside of the home, be without a phone. I personally am more aligned with Chance, especially after noticing my tv show consumption was hours each day. I’m not really on social media often, but technology has definitely changed and influenced my behavior, thinking, and the way I spend my time. I’m currently implementing limits for myself the way I would want to with my further children because the best way to lead, is by example.
A great discourse. Thank you
I think it’s great in so many ways. I’ve fixed things on my car and at home. But I hate that I’m always on there and I think being over 50 would be okay if it was to shut down. I would feel sorry for the younger generation because they don’t know life without it.
Great topic❤
Respecting people me time and work hours...Like momma you to say "don't call me on my job unless it's an emergency. I call you on my lunch break."
Yes we are to dependent on technology. I have always had a land line. I remember when we had an earthquake and the towers were all messed up but I was still able to make a call.
P. S. - l miss getting a letter in the mail to say l miss or love you❤ just as much as I miss a voice saying it.
AMEN
That is so true what CHANCE IS SAYING.
Great Discussion Tab And Chance👍 👌 ❤
Wonderful show and advice
Our parents did it. Hang that phone up🤣🤣🤣
I love y"alls way of thinking. I love seeing people from my hometown teaching us and making us really think🙏🙏🙏💓💓
This is a very interesting and meaningful topic. It’s really scary. From 2 years on up or maybe younger humans are introduced to technology. They have become addicted to technology especially to cell phones. Thanks for this information and conversation. ❤
Whew I haven't heard "We going out to eat" in so long😂😂
I truly enjoyed and agree with what you're saying, what is also making money for people. And some people stay on all day everyday cooking or something. That is another reason people say on the internet. I love UA-cam because I can watch a lot of black history.
Y’all are on point because at 50 years old I still have a land line and a Apple IPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
Even with kids being in school. Technology has taken over so much so it’s hard to reinforce what your child has been taught. Kids do their work via computer….. gone are the days where the teacher had a red pen to mark mistakes and sends the paper home so that not only the child could study but the parent could help the figure out where they went wrong and see what areas the child needs help in.
Whew! That’s a wild thought Tab
Sis we played outside until night fell then we play on our front porch until my mother bath us and ran us to bed and you better not go upstairs playing but we would giggle all night and sneak our TV on or sneak on phone with our landlines phones and that one friend would always call pass 8pm and got you in trouble and mama would unplug that phone and it was over we played games like high go seek jumprope touch football tag red light green light hop scotch ring around the roses boy those was the days ride our bikes off the block so much fun❤
One practice i use.... is sitting at the dinner with no phones.... every day.... and car runs.... to and from school.... kids talk to me
We sure did have to go to my Grandma's house and get those encyclopedias and go to the library to do our homework. We played outside, but technology became big when I turned nine years old and we got our first computer at home. Glad I knew what it was like before it took over. I'm the that tells everyone to put their phones down in group settings. We came to spend time together not be on our phones!!!!! It's kind of sad. It's getting harder to guard your gates. What we see, hear, and consume. Technology and social media fasts are very healthy. Disconnect and clear your mind and stop going down so many Internet rabbit holes.....
I think technology diminishes social skills.
I think our phones have enslaved us and made us lazy in a way. We’re less connected. My hubby told me a few months ago, as I went to the restroom at the airport, I asked him to watch my phone. He was like no “ you should never leave without your phone anything can happen!” True but I remember feeling, I don’t like thinking like that. Bc we didn’t grow up with cell phones!
I agree with Yall 💯 the internet has tooken over our normal life we use to have like those little things like just playing outside 🤦🏽♀️ it all has gone down hill since the early 2000s when internet and technology got bigger and not just the pandemic AND WE ARE LIVING IN THE END TIMES SO THIS IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THESE THINGS WOULD HAPPEN💯yall stay prayed up and wise in the LORD!💯🙏🏽✨✨
I’m watching TV, watching y’all, & scrolling on Amazon😂😂
That's the problem. Nothing has your undivided attention.
Tab I'm watching "A Stone Cold Christmas" I didn't know you starred in this movie. Your part had me weak. "Red Bottoms than hit Rock Bottom" girl I was weak 😂😂😂😂😂
Here in El Paso the internet went out for 6 hours and these ppl were clueless. It has become our way of life. As a fitness trainer, I have hard copies of textbook to reference if need be but I love internet because it’s quick.🙃
Heyy Auntie Tab and Uncle Chance ♥️♥️
I’m messing with my phone while watching y’all right now! 🤦🏾♀️
0:59 Ayyyyyeeee!!! Break it down now! 😂😂😂
I agree with the rushing part.
Even though I know how much time a video will play, I still tap the screen when I already set aside the time to watch. I also don't watch live TV, I wait until the recording comes on.... Then I skip the credits and forward through commercials
My grandson's elementary school doesn't even give spelling words for homework. We had to incorporate that in addition to his other homework ourselves. Technology gives them correctional type misspelled words.
I worry in the future, who will know how to spell, to update the technology ? I'm just inquiring 🤔🤔🤔
We become desensitized to trauma
Great discussion it is a shame how technology has deprived our young people of learning how to give the correct change to a person unless the cash register tells them how much to give back. You go out to dinner with people and everyone is on the phone instead of socializing with each other.
They got us! I am praying that one day I will be able to move to the country to live a slower lifestyle without all this technology. It’s going to destroy us if we don’t be careful.
Mr. Brown got that straight fast!!! 😂😂😂
Hi from Missouri ❤
Its important to attain assets before the day comes so that we may be as comfortable as we can
We are living in the last days so social media is one of the distractions of this wicked world we’re living in so through these different things you become desensitized to a lot of things that are of the devil’s work it’s part of his intention
Yes we have & plan to always have a landline.
Well just have to go back to the old days y'all.
Awesome an very insightful. 🙏🏽 You 👑&👑 👏🏽👏🏽 I agree as well LET IT WORK FOR YOU and not the other way around ✌🏽N 🫶🏽🙏🏽
I believe it has not changed too much of anything it's not good for anybody😮
I heard a pastor say what are you bowing to as he proceeded to demonstrate with his head bowed like rolling a blunt, then cell phone, laptop as he was typing, ipad, over eating, etc. What have you allowed yourself to become addicted to that you bow to it more than seeking the face of GOD😮😢 ......i had to examine myself because not long after that Tab and chance popped up and i knew i had to examine myself because my bowing belongs to the LORD😮😢 HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, DO YOU EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE BOWING OR HAVE REALIZED HOW MUCH ATTACHEMENT YOU HAVE ALLOWED TO TAKE OVER?
