"Man does not really love social media; he merely hates boredom and loneliness." (Mokokoma Mokhonoana)
"We live in an age when Unnecessary things are our only necessities." - Oscar Wilde
Unfortunately he was right about what's happening when it comes to social media
And people will watch it obliviously on their cell phones.
Well... How did you guess🤣🤣
U triggered?
not everyone is addicted though and most of it is an exaggeration of the truth which foretells the future and what people who are addicted could become if they aren't helped ...
most medical personnel have been allowed limited access to phones (ik many medical health workers personally)
Lol you have a point
Not if u use your phone wisely
I searched for this for about 2 months before finding it again !! hurra !!!
I actually used this video in one of my presentations. Surprisingly, the teachers (and the students, ofc) liked it ...
Im using it next week.
It's funny because it's true.
Watching this on my cellphone.
computer for me...2006 model
This should go viral
It was viral a few years ago, but I can't find the upload.
OK BOOMER
Search also for that Moby music video.
^ better music imo = search Cell Phone Addiction Mad World

Relate banget sama situasi sekarang, kemajuan teknologi itu bagikan pisau bermata dua.
Kadang sampai lupa kemanusiaan itu seperti apa. Hehe
this story is really touching with the new technologies many people concentrate all their time on the mobile phone while they have a job to respect.
Alain Roger Mendy I don’t know what job u got where u can use your phone while participating in situations which are dependent on you. If you have your phone in McDonald’s you get fired, and you don’t even need a diploma for that. I have no idea what motivated you to comment this, I can think of a single job where you can use your phone when it’s not directly intended to be used and not get in some sort of trouble.
Base on true story😂
Wtf is wrong with you boomer
It's like addiction to our phone destroys our world as in our own world
Nice bro this is sad reality of the world every buddy addicted like this😔🥺
Love it xD this is a really dark humor and im writing it trough my phone tho xDDD
Superb video!
The scenes on the street is an exact example of what happens the streets of Manhattan, N.Y.
Lololololololol 😆😆😆😆😆
Shut up boomer

@@jpolar394 I am a redditor. Stop using emojis
@@drain4314 ........Then watch where you walk. LOLOL.
Thanks... Very educative..... Don't be a slave...
Obviously we’re using our phones to watch this
Es realmente una extraordinaria caricatura que refleja el estado de enajenación al que han llegado muchas personas que yacen prisioneras en el interior de su propio aparato celular.
So true in today's world. A Digital minus (-)
We are even forgetting the most basic human courtesies - cannot stress enough the importance of teaching kids good digital habits from early childhood!

Years before I watched the video, I said that this short film was greatly exaggerated But now it's real 💀
This never gets old.
That's the real Scary part
In Shadow a modern Odyssey is a must see (if you liked this)
@@TheyLiveUareSheep Thanks.
This video has gone viral in Spain through social media being cited as a "egyptian short prized in Venize's film fest"
Thanks for letting us know. Can you tell us on which platform the film went viral? Can't find this title on Facebook.
@@KISKISkeepitshort It keeps popping up on WhatsApp from time to time, with all credits being cut out :(
The vídeo was sent to me by Whats App and I had to look for information on UA-cam to discover who is the autor. I'm from Brazil.
@@KISKISkeepitshort It's being misidentified as "L'altra Par" or "L'altra Pair" -- a different film entirely. And there's an article out there that claims it was created for a Canadian supermarket chain, but that too is a confusion -- they're thinking of the live-action short "EatTogether 2017," which begins with people focusing on their mobile phones instead of each other.
@@KISKISkeepitshort here, i got this from twitter

Excelente y maravilloso!!! Pulgares arriba y me suscribo al canal. Saludos y bendiciones para todos desde Puebla, México.
Very life changing

Nooooo 😲this is really bad we are not using mobile the mobile is using us😭😱
Think times are bad now, just wait until we have affordable augmented/virtual reality
Very sad...I hope it remains a cartoon and not reality, there is people still alive
अपने समय का उपयोग अन्य रचनात्मक गतिविधियों जैसे पढ़ाई, योग, संगीत, या परिवार और दोस्तों के साथ समय बिताने में करें। इससे मोबाइल की लत कम हो सकती है।
phone bad, book good
This video makes me want to put on a speedo, and roll down a green, grassy hill on the noonday sun--all alone, no cameras rolling, just for the pleasure of being alive.
We really do waste most of our life doing the stupidest things. I mean there’s more chatting online than in person for sure.
En ocasiones tuve que desviar para que no me atropellen no registran a nadie.Gracias por el video.🌞
Oh this world 🌍🤔
and why the fuck would the cat stay there cats have the best instincts in the world so unrealistic
Hey u look my mom who cant stop using phones
Mom was right about that damn phone
🤘😎🤙
Agente vai se estinto😂😂
Thank you :'D
when they leave the phone for just a few minutes, they will feel like a drug addict
Algien de classroom??
👍👍👍👍
that's true😔
Köszönöm / Thank you
Mélyen igaz/How true
Ok i skipped through the video mostly,but surely every moment was ouch!
This is pretty biased, so let's think for a minute:
Have you ever seen a person who uses their phone as consistently and abruptly as what is displayed here? Probably not. Don't get me wrong there are unfortunately people who end up matching this extent, but come on mate that's like a drop in the ocean. Phones have changed lives for both the good and bad, and if the person (or people) that made this refuse to listen to our side than why shouldn't we just ignore what they had to say?
Just my opinion.
(Oh but the animation was solid and it was kinda funny other than that)
Did you type this while driving?
@@CarlosSDCA no
It's about phone ADDICTION..It's not about people who use phones but are not addicted to it..Obviously it's an exaggerated version of what happens in real life but some of them have actually happened in real life. Whether it's a small or big percentage doesn't matter at all because this video is intended to spread awareness among people, to show them what might happen if we get too much addicted to our cellphones..That's the point of this animation..and tbh people don't take anything seriously if we don't exaggerate it a bit and that's why I think a little bit exaggeration was also needed..
Yeah I never see anyone this glued to their phone. I mainly use my phone in the morning and then do other things throughout my day.
yay I lost my phone now
Please make a 2nd part video
im just doing a cardboard smartphone lol
And that's how all human kind died
The isolation and the terrible posture habits. Will we all look like microbiologists, soon?
Facts..
Hmm 🧐 Reality
Permission to use your video
0:36
😢😢
True .
Did you know: all phones will be completely banned and gotten rid of by 2060.
Interesting point. Why are you saying this?
Infelizmente, é o retrato fiel de nossa vida atual.
Does this have a solution
Put down (or better yet, turn off) the phone. Go for a walk, read a book, draw/paint a picture, etc.
👍👍👍👍👍
Y'all don't understand.
А ха ха в Москве таких полно. Вообще никуда не смотрят только в телефон
F por el gato del inicio
People who make these videos are the reason why people keep posting those cringy sad quotes
What a trippy video game!
True
This is so sad I’m gonna tweet about this or something.
2015....think about now
