Using the Internet to Find someone to Connect with? Get out of the Dark and Connect to Stranger. Use an real Word not Shortcuts. Use your Voice not your Hands. Look at the World not your Screen. Look at People not Picture's,Selfie. Be Positive not Negative. Look at the Social World not Social Media. Every thing that Surrounds you is God Creation. Use your Life Time on the Outside and not in the Inside.
I think that everyone needs to figure out that looking at a screen isn't bad. You just need to find the balance between screen and social skills. Computers and phones are great! But so is hanging out with friends. Find the balance and you are good.
Ummm looking at screens is bad for us! A good balance is only using screens when we really need to and only really talking to others through text or social media when we have to, other than that we should be living in the moment
I watched it last year in school and here’s my response: bro LIKE EVERY SCHOOL IS LIKE OHHH TECHNOLOGY BAD BOOK GOOD! Like BRO YOU HAVE TO KIDDING ME. IF I HAD TO STOP USING MY PHONE THEN HOW WOULD I TALK WITH MY FRIENDS IN POLYNESIA OR MEXICO? Like IN MY SCHOOL NO ONE EVEN CARES ABOUT THE VIDEO. EVERYONE JUST MAKES FUN OF IT. I wouldn’t even be surprised if this vidoe is just to promote students to read more or some shit like that
-If I don't use my phone, I can't communicate with work (seeing as my company is in a different country to mine, that's huge). -When I was in my relationship, if I didn't use my phone, my ex would have never existed. -If I don't continue to update, at least five times a day, my followers think I'm dead or at least depressed. At worst, they forget I exist, because every single other person they follow is continuing to tweet. -If I don't check my phone whenever I can, I could miss that audition, I could miss that notification that brings in that important news. -If I don't use my computer/phone, I wouldn't be able to communicate with family members. -If I didn't use my phone on the go? I wouldn't be speaking french. Not everyone is tweeting and sext-ing on the go, I'm trying to make use of the little device between my fingers. -My job relies on the internet, take the internet away, then what have I spent the last decade of my life working towards? -The internet has been my counsellor. -The internet has given me a platform to educate several million people about my disorder and spread the word. Young girls may have been locked in their rooms making themselves ill, if I hadn't have gone out there and spoken out. Sure I hate the phone addiction, truly I do.... but unless EVERYONE stops, then EVERYONE won't. Putting your phone away is like a form of suicide. I'd be more cut off from life without it :'(.
you show how much we rely on our phones, and proves the guys point, i think his point though is we are on technology almost as much as we sleep at night (like on technology 12 hours + a day) also his point is why not just catch up with people when you have the time!
Exactly.... Basically everyone in my life is online, there is no one offline to do things with. It's not that I'm ignoring my friends... my friends are in NY, Denmark and Toronto. I can't exactly meet up with them can I? As for too much usage, again, I agree. But I have to have it, it's sods law, the time you turn away or put it down, you miss that vital thing you're waiting for x
I think the message is more about moderation. He must understand like the rest of us the convenience and opportunity that comes from our phones and social networks, but he's trying to convey that maybe we should put it down more and appreciate the moments around us instead of potentially missing them because we're too invested in our technology too much of the time. Maybe this was lost because of the extreme case that this video presents, but I suppose it was done to effectively get the message across, since some people need extreme examples to understand properly. But don't forget about your phone, it's obviously very crucial in they way your life operates. Just maybe give it a rest now and then :)
I wouldn't think you were dead if you didn't update all day. I would be bored because you're life is interesting while mine isn't. But I'd think you were busy or taking cat naps with the cats. The phone and access to internet 24/7 is both a gift and a curse. And I agree it's basically kind of like a form of suicide. Because I feel like even the simplest of interaction, whether it be a tweet, a text a like on a video. Anything is better than being a shut in not talking to anyone at all.
I couldn't get enough of your videos Prince. I started with an employee teaches boss video for one of my grad classes and then could not get enough of your messages.
... what he says in this video is from a script he didn't write He doesn't know jackshit, is homophobic and doesn't know the difference between genetic mental disorders and mental disorders caused by things in later life (ADD is genetic and phones don't cause it, otherwise how the heck did I have a phone in the womb back in 2001 and how did my grandma and uncle get it?)
One time, I put my phone down the whole day, I felt closer to my family members after that day. I started to notice the things around me and I finally felt loved. Rather than saying they don't love me.
It’s true that in the US most people use iPhones. Some probably don’t even know what Android is, like grandma when you upgraded her from an old Blackberry or Nokia to the newest iPhone.
Yeah, we made fun of our parents/grandparents trying to reduce our screen time and have dinner together. Now this generation is the loneliest yet.@@RUFFYIwagon-vm4jb
There are no sources Or studies to prove he is right, I hate how much information he is throwing up casually, Ironically he uploaded this to facebook and also it is called ADHD for a long time not ADD
once I had a sleepover and a friend of mine said we had to put our phones in a bag and that she would hide it so we did not go on our phones. First we were like no way. but in the end we did it anyway. We had the best night of our lives and have made so many beautiful Memories together.
This is spot on. People have become so sucked into their devices doing meaningless stuff, they miss out on the very people physically around them. They miss out on real human connection. Tomorrow is not promised. We can't get today back. People feel so lonely because we have isolated ourselves, and that causes the decline of real humanity. Thank you for sharing this message.
We need more people like you, the kind that understand major problems and have solutions to fix them. It’s people like you hat make this life worth living, you try to make everything better. However nobody ever seems to listen😔
You are so inspirational. I've got rid of many of my apps on my phone, because I've chosen that if I'm bored, I will go out and live life making more memories of things that I can treasure than sitting in bed on my phone letting precious time fly by. I've realised the important things in life thanks to you Prince Ea, thank you xx😌
True that but it's night here so I am gonna stay playing games since there is literally nothing else to do but sleep what I'm gonna do go run in the middle of the night lol
Actually I'm here trying to find out what you call the way he talks lots of at my niece school assembly presenter talk the same way? Found out it called slam poetry.
Andrew B. No, more people who care about the world people who care about trees people who notice what the world is coming to how we're all just wasting our lives looking down at our screens and i know I'm wasting my live right now replying to your comment.
Sophia Hamel Do you believe that there's literally no good in being able to stay in contact with people you love who happen to live on the other side of the world?
It has been years since I have seen your videos, but when I do, I always get some profound insight that I need at the time. This one is especially timely! Thaink you. Love you man!
I get what you sayin But heres the thing There's people like me I feel like nobody I see at school cares I get all depressed There's nothing I can do whenever I get picked on and beat up Until about 2 years ago, when I got in the social medias, I just wanted to die Then I friended my friends from where I used to live We spent each evening chatting on hangouts and I started to feel better Cause it was hard to get together when you 3,000 miles away Then I started posting and liking till I got to 100 Then I got to know some of them and I felt I was accepted They pulled me out from the darkest depths of my depression Made me laugh when I felt down and thought nobody could ever save me Cause I was just a trigger pull away from leaving this damned place behind But after an hour and a half of talking and crying I finally got the courage to put that glock down on the table Then take the magazine and throw the bullets away And flush away the blades and pills and burn that noose I felt their love and support and it changed me for good They gave me the strength to stand up for myself And not take shit from anybody else And to this day I'm greatful fir those friends from Atlantic to Pacific Eastern and western and down under too So now I'm here right now and that ain't ever gonna change I still remember the conversations I had with some real heroes And I'm greatful to have had them with me when I thought nobody was So I'm thanking now for keeping me from going off the edge I can't express how much I love them all in any words that I can say But I hope this can be a start
I know this feeling... When friends are too far away and Skype is the best way to stay in touch. I have found some cool people to talk to on Facebook, or sometimes I just have a 140 symbol small talk with someone on Twitter. I would have gone mad at this moment if I wouldn't have all these possibilities to talk with people who are way too far away.
(haven't watched the video yet) Can we auto-correct humanity? well, sure, but auto-correct is a function that only occurs at the end, after you hit that space bar. Humanity will be auto-corrected once humanity is no longer around, and has been given space.
You people still fight it and want to stick your ways. I'm sorry Ea, I wanna have faith but a majority of this generation is incredibly hard headed and ignorant I just don't see the light. The internet has helped us but destroyed us.
We have made this world better but we have fucked it up yes we have there are moments where we love what we have done but there are times were we just messed things up and it's not ok we need the Internet yes but we need friends family. Also I'm subbed to you and you just like came out of nowhere I love your videos
It's honestly really scary. I feel like I'm the only level headed person my age (20). I feel like this generation is so caught up in nonsense while I'm trying so hard to understand the fundamentals of life. I'm trying to have hope, but it's hard.
I'm 15 and me and my friends established a rule Everytime we're together we take all our phones and put them somewhere else so that we can have fun without them. It actually really annoys me when I'm with friends and everybody is on their phone I wanna TALK to THEM not watch some stupid videos on Instagram with them
90% of the comment section: OMG SO TRUE, technology is so evil! *proceeds to share the link of the video and text on their facebook/twitter/Skype/etc.* (Do you guys even read the description? He never said to destroy technology, just regulate it.)
A lot of people are so shallow minded when it comes to videos like this. They didn't bother to understand the implied meaning in every sentence, and the implied meaning as a whole video. They instead look at exact words. I bet to you that half of them stopped at 0:42 (cuz he said fb is anti-social) and started typing shit at the comment section.
because social media can be a powerful tool...it doesn't have to be all about selfies and stupid videos that have no reason or sharing ignorant hateful things. This guy is trying to make a difference and by posting or sharing, it's spreading the message, bringing it into the conscious awareness of HUMANITY. people are poisoning themselves as well as others. D
+Kaylee Staaben although think of how many people stare down at their screens u think of the good but thn in the old days we were free and lived hapily no jobs evry day man more fam time
Most the facts are exaerated, if not all. In truth tecnology is a huge factor in connection and teh cancelation of evolution, which isn't a bad thing... ADD (Which is actually ADHD!) is on the raise because its a genetic disorder, I know someone who had 7 children, All with heavy ADHD yet not due to the amount of times on phones. What about long distence. What about people with bad memory. Thiis isn't nit picking but a common misconseption that the video and many of his others seem to shove into people. Katy Osk is right. Yes there is a bad part to the internet and tecnology, but it amkes life easier, better, safer and connects every single one of us! I have a girl I have known for a year who i love, who is from another county. I would have never known she existed if not for tecnology. I would still be in a deadend relationship of depression and neglect and would have killed myself if not for her inp;ut to help.
It´s exactly the same here. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I wouldn't have met if there wasn't for the technology there is today. Also I have ADHD and it was absolutely nothing to do with what he is saying. It wouldn't even make sense in the first place. Depression had hit me and the technology we have today has completely turned it around. If it wasn't for the internet god knows where I would be now. And as you say, of course there is always bad things on the internet. There are bad things in real life as well. There´s no way of escaping it. But there are also good things, Like helping people in long distance relationships like myself.
Ancient Soul I only use my phone for making calls and listening to music when I'm using public transport, but whatever dude. Keep watching your edgy anti-smartphone videos. That ego of yours will be as big as Prince Ea's soon enough!
Ancient Soul I was countering the assumption you made about me constantly being on my phone. Also, don't you think the Ancient Greeks said the exact same thing about their children when they were reading too many books? Now parents wish their children would spend most of their free time reading books. So don't you think maybe people being on their phones isn't all that bad? It's not like people use it every single waking minute of their lives. Quit being such a traditionalist.
Ancient Soul it's hard for me to even continue an argument with a person who doesn't have the mental capacity to tell the difference between "your" and "you're". You have a bs meter? Ironically it should detect the amount of bs you spout. I don't want to convince you of anything, go ahead buy into his strawman. I mean, you have said it yourself that you wouldn't want to be convinced otherwise lol. Why do I need to know whom I'm talking to? Are you some sort of a VIP? lol, you're probably one of those self righteous SJWs who are dense and buy into anything on the internet and jump into every bandwagon. The OP's video is based on fallacies. Appeal to anecdotes won't help and building a strawman out of the issue is unnecessary. I haven't heard of anyone who goes like "yeah sure bro let's sckype, what time?" when asked for a in-person confrontation.
He's saying that we shouldn't use it for RVERYTHING. It's fine to use it occasionally but society has become so corrupt that we literally could not survive without our phones
"Call me crazy but I imagine a world where we smile when we have low batteries. Coz that'll mean that we're one step closer. To humanity." So inspirational
And yet, I met my best friend through the internet. Yes, I am looking at my phone a lot, but no, I am not loosing touch with people. My 'people' I talk to online, we support each other and motivate each other to at least get through the day, and i am more in touch when i am looking at my phone then any time else.
:33< I kinda agr33 with you. I have quite a lot of internet friends, some I've known longer than half of my real life friends, and I have a lot of people who say things like "they're dangerous" or "they could be a cr33py stalker" and I honestly don't think so. Yea, people sometimes use their phones when they shouldn't be, but they could be talking to a friend or person who's struggling with something. that is all
Thank you for making this. Well spoken and to the heart. Lots of truth to this. Back to humanity and real relationships...

True words spoken indeed P but it seems unthinkable in our always connected society... we should just become more conscious users of technology and don't let it take over our social lives...
Jurjen Söhne very true. there's another solution to that: use a tool that helps you re-connect with people in the real world. Stay tuned for more Mr. Sohne ;)
it hits different when you see this video in 2024, and stops to think: even in 9 years, nothing has changed. Things have only gotten worse. it's pretty sad the situation we're living in
Social media is bad, the news always being negative worrying and stressing everybody just for them to not enjoy the moments and keep us thinking things will get better which it won’t and we’re slowly learning that fact and we’re very, very pissed off.
That’s what I’m saying, I agree it should be more stayed away from it as it corrupts my fellow high school classmates but like this dude dosent know what he’s talking about and delivered it wrong. Yes we should stay away, but he focused on negatives and the video made corny made up situations. And the ADHD thing dosent make sense. It’s something your born with, not a disease. It increases because it gets passed on to their furtive kids etc. this man had potential but this video is just so goofy bro…
@@Ryixsheat yeah do that then decide on how to live your life, i just like a good quality life. Not a overload of dopamine stuffed into your brain slowly fucking up your brains you know?
My teacher showed my your videos when I was in 6th grade. I just want to say you’ve changed my life, and made me see it in a whole different way. I am still watching you 3 years later today. I just want to say thank you, for teaching me so much. I can’t put it in words people need to hear your messages. They are just so great. Thank you ❤️💘
DEFINITION OF INSANITY The ones you don't listen to and still waste time making playlists on youtube thinking your self worth is the same as the number of likes on those
Theodwine do you have any idea how much time it takes to constantly be making and editing vids? Not that it matters, my point was that he depends on them.
Bryce Swiger if he was just a young idealist he would just be making these videos, and yet, he takes action, in the real world, to address the problems he does in his videos. So no he is not just a young idealist
+Ryan Whitaker You're trolling, right? Don't get caught up in Leafy's satire. This is a legit issue that's altering the human condition. Don't be an anti-intellectual just because you think it's the cool thing to do right now.
Humans aren't getting more anti-social. People have always wanted to avoid each other for the most part. For example, books, newspapers, television, etc. Those are primarily used to avoid others, social media is no different. Except we can actually talk to others while doing that thing.
Gestice Newspapers, books, and television were all created for exactly opposite that. They were all to connect all of us together. On TV, one could see places and people they have never even imagined. Same goes to books. Newspapers are all about informing us about what other people were up to.
I am a witness that "Technology has made us [family and friends] more separate and selfish than ever." I also co-sign the agreement reclassifying Facebook as an "Anti Social Network." Of course technology and FB have their benefits and advantages, but promoting genuine/real family communication and connection is not one of them. Thank you for bringing the detriment of social media to light. ❤🖤💚
This guy is totally right on. We live in a world of technology and it has made us more isolated, stressed and more. Gives us more to do with less time to do it in. Can't talk to our neighbors but we can to people we will never meet half way across the world. Don't get me wrong. There are some good things about these modern toys but I would love to go back to when people were friendlier and we weren't so afraid to say hi to each other while we are walking the streets. I would still rather have real friends, like I had in the past, to actually see in person and hang out with and have fun. This world today is far from the one I grew up in and one I envisioned growing up. I am trying to spend less time on here and trying to get a real social life. How about you? Is this the kind of world you want your child raised in? I would hope not. Lets spend more time with real humans and less on these machines. Bring me back to the real social society. For me personally, there has to be a way to have a real social existence here In the lonely town of Phoenix. AZ. Everyone should watch and subscribe to this guy's channel. He is so full or truth.
+Randy R but you guys need to put your phones down and stop writing comments here, go and knock on your neighbors door and say hi if you wanna say hi:) Say hi to anybody, nobody's gonna stop you:)
he's not saying that :) he's just implying that we've become more attached to our phones than other people, which is totally true. Technology is great in some ways (eg. how we're communicating right now), but it's also bringing us apart in other ways and obviously this guy acknowledges this. now stfu with your weak ass over used tumblr phrase and stop trying to get likes on youtube
People accusing Prince Ea of being a hypocrite for using UA-cam are missing the point of his videos completely. He isn't saying that communication by information technology is bad or wrong. He is just saying that we should spend more time with each other face to face. To be honest I agree with him. A few weeks ago I was at a lecture at university and during a small break we had EVERYONE in the room except me and the person sat next to be had their heads down looking at their phones.
Christopher Adshead yeah that's why he asks us to follow his Instagram, Twitter and facbook page at the end of the vidoe where he posts like 20-30 shitty stolen quotes.
I'm more concerned about how he claims that AD(H)D is on the rise because of technology. It's a biochemical imbalance that people who have the disability face every day, regardless of how often they use technology. I don't have ADHD myself, but I have autism, which is similar, so I'd know a bit about ADHD.
@@alexanderclark627 why would he talk about adhd and not the attention deficit disorder(ADD for short) when he's talking about attention span in the video? well, not that i agree tho lol
VoulgrimG ADHD and ADD are the same thing, ADHD is attention deficit (and hyperactivity) disorder. Prince EA is an absolute idiot who has no research or understanding on ADHD so if you wish to look further into it please google proper information and facts :)
HII Prince Ea im just a rondom boy 15 years old im from south africa and i know you probably wont see this comment but I just wanna say i love who you are as a person and please never stop i see so many hate comment why if they even hate you they take the time to comment something but anyways thanks for the videos you changed my life and in a good way i have never seen the world the way i do now im always happy and always try to make athor people happy and i just wanna say thank you really THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO PRINCE EA Oh! and one more thing i did a oral at school about your video I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM and i got full marks my teacher said it was great and i told her about you and she said it sound like i know you how much i told her about you hehe but anyways thanks again PRINCE EA your the best!!!! NEVER STOP!!!!
Heh heh, I already see so many blatant lies in this video alone, shame you look up to him because I don't, he basically just made out my mental disorder was caused by phone usage... So apparently I was in the womb using a phone back in 2001, so did my grandma, and uncle and baby cousin... Oh wait that's because it's actually a genetic disorder and his statement makes no sense as how can a phone reconstruct brain chemicals that have already been built? Makes no sense
You were used in one of my school assignments. As I’m typing this I am doing that assignment right now. You should be proud someone is using you to teach a whole class.
Yes he did. The pace of his voice in the video is over dramatic and fallacious, only taking away from his overall argument (if you can even call it an argument). He makes he worst points ever, phones and social media drastically increase social connectivity. This guy is bullshit and you know it
+Nuclear ツ Ik pretty sure I won't because I will be using my iPhone 12 (or 9s, depending on the trends) to catch up with all my freinds on social media. You are trying to stay in the past and it never works
+Ryan Whitaker it's not about staying in the past. It's about how we currently use this technology. There needs to be a balance. You're probably too young to realize how things have changed for the worse. I don't blame you because this is all you know, you'll defend it and protect it with fire. But you don't know how dates used to exist, people made friends outside or at events (more often) and see, that's the point here. Human connection on a physical level is dwindling. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. There's a reason why videos like this exist. This isn't some one off dude. MOST people feel this way.

I think that everyone needs to figure out that looking at a screen isn't bad. You just need to find the balance between screen and social skills. Computers and phones are great! But so is hanging out with friends. Find the balance and you are good.

never had friends to hang out with... even before I got a mobile phone.

-When I was in my relationship, if I didn't use my phone, my ex would have never existed.
-If I don't continue to update, at least five times a day, my followers think I'm dead or at least depressed. At worst, they forget I exist, because every single other person they follow is continuing to tweet.
-If I don't check my phone whenever I can, I could miss that audition, I could miss that notification that brings in that important news.
-If I don't use my computer/phone, I wouldn't be able to communicate with family members.
-If I didn't use my phone on the go? I wouldn't be speaking french. Not everyone is tweeting and sext-ing on the go, I'm trying to make use of the little device between my fingers.
-My job relies on the internet, take the internet away, then what have I spent the last decade of my life working towards?
-The internet has been my counsellor.
-The internet has given me a platform to educate several million people about my disorder and spread the word. Young girls may have been locked in their rooms making themselves ill, if I hadn't have gone out there and spoken out.
Sure I hate the phone addiction, truly I do.... but unless EVERYONE stops, then EVERYONE won't. Putting your phone away is like a form of suicide. I'd be more cut off from life without it :'(.
you show how much we rely on our phones, and proves the guys point, i think his point though is we are on technology almost as much as we sleep at night (like on technology 12 hours + a day) also his point is why not just catch up with people when you have the time!
Exactly....
Basically everyone in my life is online, there is no one offline to do things with. It's not that I'm ignoring my friends... my friends are in NY, Denmark and Toronto. I can't exactly meet up with them can I?
As for too much usage, again, I agree. But I have to have it, it's sods law, the time you turn away or put it down, you miss that vital thing you're waiting for x
I think the message is more about moderation. He must understand like the rest of us the convenience and opportunity that comes from our phones and social networks, but he's trying to convey that maybe we should put it down more and appreciate the moments around us instead of potentially missing them because we're too invested in our technology too much of the time.
Maybe this was lost because of the extreme case that this video presents, but I suppose it was done to effectively get the message across, since some people need extreme examples to understand properly.
But don't forget about your phone, it's obviously very crucial in they way your life operates. Just maybe give it a rest now and then :)

I wouldn't think you were dead if you didn't update all day. I would be bored because you're life is interesting while mine isn't. But I'd think you were busy or taking cat naps with the cats.
The phone and access to internet 24/7 is both a gift and a curse. And I agree it's basically kind of like a form of suicide. Because I feel like even the simplest of interaction, whether it be a tweet, a text a like on a video. Anything is better than being a shut in not talking to anyone at all.
I couldn't get enough of your videos Prince. I started with an employee teaches boss video for one of my grad classes and then could not get enough of your messages.
Prince ea for president? nah
.....
Prince ea for World Leader!!
Yes
... what he says in this video is from a script he didn't write
He doesn't know jackshit, is homophobic and doesn't know the difference between genetic mental disorders and mental disorders caused by things in later life (ADD is genetic and phones don't cause it, otherwise how the heck did I have a phone in the womb back in 2001 and how did my grandma and uncle get it?)
GlitterGlitch did anybody ask you anything
Jo right
No
One time, I put my phone down the whole day, I felt closer to my family members after that day. I started to notice the things around me and I finally felt loved. Rather than saying they don't love me.

First we were like no way. but in the end we did it anyway.
We had the best night of our lives and have made so many beautiful Memories together.

This is spot on. People have become so sucked into their devices doing meaningless stuff, they miss out on the very people physically around them. They miss out on real human connection. Tomorrow is not promised. We can't get today back. People feel so lonely because we have isolated ourselves, and that causes the decline of real humanity. Thank you for sharing this message.

It has been years since I have seen your videos, but when I do, I always get some profound insight that I need at the time. This one is especially timely! Thaink you. Love you man!
I get what you sayin
But heres the thing
There's people like me
I feel like nobody I see at school cares
I get all depressed
There's nothing I can do whenever I get picked on and beat up
Until about 2 years ago, when I got in the social medias, I just wanted to die
Then I friended my friends from where I used to live
We spent each evening chatting on hangouts and I started to feel better
Cause it was hard to get together when you 3,000 miles away
Then I started posting and liking till I got to 100
Then I got to know some of them and I felt I was accepted
They pulled me out from the darkest depths of my depression
Made me laugh when I felt down and thought nobody could ever save me
Cause I was just a trigger pull away from leaving this damned place behind
But after an hour and a half of talking and crying
I finally got the courage to put that glock down on the table
Then take the magazine and throw the bullets away
And flush away the blades and pills and burn that noose
I felt their love and support and it changed me for good
They gave me the strength to stand up for myself
And not take shit from anybody else
And to this day I'm greatful fir those friends from Atlantic to Pacific
Eastern and western and down under too
So now I'm here right now and that ain't ever gonna change
I still remember the conversations I had with some real heroes
And I'm greatful to have had them with me when I thought nobody was
So I'm thanking now for keeping me from going off the edge
I can't express how much I love them all in any words that I can say
But I hope this can be a start
That's lovely!! 😊 I'm glad you're still here XD
I'm gonna make a full rap from this
Cam Morgan that would be really cool, and really deep
I know this feeling... When friends are too far away and Skype is the best way to stay in touch. I have found some cool people to talk to on Facebook, or sometimes I just have a 140 symbol small talk with someone on Twitter. I would have gone mad at this moment if I wouldn't have all these possibilities to talk with people who are way too far away.
your point is invalid because you didn't rhyme like the dude in the video.
(haven't watched the video yet) Can we auto-correct humanity? well, sure, but auto-correct is a function that only occurs at the end, after you hit that space bar. Humanity will be auto-corrected once humanity is no longer around, and has been given space.

You people still fight it and want to stick your ways. I'm sorry Ea, I wanna have faith but a majority of this generation is incredibly hard headed and ignorant I just don't see the light. The internet has helped us but destroyed us.
I'm subbed and I have 0 idea how I found you here
love your content and i 100 percent agree with you man
We have made this world better but we have fucked it up yes we have there are moments where we love what we have done but there are times were we just messed things up and it's not ok we need the Internet yes but we need friends family.
Also I'm subbed to you and you just like came out of nowhere I love your videos
It's honestly really scary. I feel like I'm the only level headed person my age (20). I feel like this generation is so caught up in nonsense while I'm trying so hard to understand the fundamentals of life. I'm trying to have hope, but it's hard.

90% of the comment section: OMG SO TRUE, technology is so evil! *proceeds to share the link of the video and text on their facebook/twitter/Skype/etc.* (Do you guys even read the description? He never said to destroy technology, just regulate it.)
i know right.... these people are talking like technology is perfect and without its flaws.
A lot of people are so shallow minded when it comes to videos like this. They didn't bother to understand the implied meaning in every sentence, and the implied meaning as a whole video. They instead look at exact words. I bet to you that half of them stopped at 0:42 (cuz he said fb is anti-social) and started typing shit at the comment section.
because social media can be a powerful tool...it doesn't have to be all about selfies and stupid videos that have no reason or sharing ignorant hateful things. This guy is trying to make a difference and by posting or sharing, it's spreading the message, bringing it into the conscious awareness of HUMANITY. people are poisoning themselves as well as others.

Katy Osk oh well haha
let's just concentrate on the point of this video.. we just need to stay balanced, he exaggerated a bit thats true
Most the facts are exaerated, if not all. In truth tecnology is a huge factor in connection and teh cancelation of evolution, which isn't a bad thing... ADD (Which is actually ADHD!) is on the raise because its a genetic disorder, I know someone who had 7 children, All with heavy ADHD yet not due to the amount of times on phones. What about long distence. What about people with bad memory. Thiis isn't nit picking but a common misconseption that the video and many of his others seem to shove into people. Katy Osk is right. Yes there is a bad part to the internet and tecnology, but it amkes life easier, better, safer and connects every single one of us! I have a girl I have known for a year who i love, who is from another county. I would have never known she existed if not for tecnology. I would still be in a deadend relationship of depression and neglect and would have killed myself if not for her inp;ut to help.
It´s exactly the same here. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I wouldn't have met if there wasn't for the technology there is today. Also I have ADHD and it was absolutely nothing to do with what he is saying. It wouldn't even make sense in the first place. Depression had hit me and the technology we have today has completely turned it around. If it wasn't for the internet god knows where I would be now. And as you say, of course there is always bad things on the internet. There are bad things in real life as well. There´s no way of escaping it. But there are also good things, Like helping people in long distance relationships like myself.
This guy said this 8 years ago and its still completely relatable and absolutely correct and i m sure that this guy would be ACCURATE after decades

Ancient Soul I only use my phone for making calls and listening to music when I'm using public transport, but whatever dude. Keep watching your edgy anti-smartphone videos. That ego of yours will be as big as Prince Ea's soon enough!
Ancient Soul I was countering the assumption you made about me constantly being on my phone.
Also, don't you think the Ancient Greeks said the exact same thing about their children when they were reading too many books? Now parents wish their children would spend most of their free time reading books. So don't you think maybe people being on their phones isn't all that bad? It's not like people use it every single waking minute of their lives. Quit being such a traditionalist.
+Ancient Soul not really, you're just buying into shitty propaganda. The video is one big strawman.
Ancient Soul it's hard for me to even continue an argument with a person who doesn't have the mental capacity to tell the difference between "your" and "you're".
You have a bs meter? Ironically it should detect the amount of bs you spout.
I don't want to convince you of anything, go ahead buy into his strawman. I mean, you have said it yourself that you wouldn't want to be convinced otherwise lol. Why do I need to know whom I'm talking to? Are you some sort of a VIP? lol, you're probably one of those self righteous SJWs who are dense and buy into anything on the internet and jump into every bandwagon.
The OP's video is based on fallacies. Appeal to anecdotes won't help and building a strawman out of the issue is unnecessary. I haven't heard of anyone who goes like "yeah sure bro let's sckype, what time?" when asked for a in-person confrontation.

+Shinato, King of a Higher Plane Really? Please elaborate on that.
Social media itself isn't bad. How people use it is bad.
Social media is bad, the news always being negative worrying and stressing everybody just for them to not enjoy the moments and keep us thinking things will get better which it won’t and we’re slowly learning that fact and we’re very, very pissed off.
That’s what I’m saying, I agree it should be more stayed away from it as it corrupts my fellow high school classmates but like this dude dosent know what he’s talking about and delivered it wrong. Yes we should stay away, but he focused on negatives and the video made corny made up situations. And the ADHD thing dosent make sense. It’s something your born with, not a disease. It increases because it gets passed on to their furtive kids etc. this man had potential but this video is just so goofy bro…

+System 32 no dude the thing this guy did wrong is being to freaking dramatic its so Dumb leafy is correct they rey so hard to be deep its horrible
need to show this at my school will probs get laughed at but you know what I don't care
I'm with you on that
Thats what me and my friend did today actually !!
+Lucas Jackson time zones
Same.
i showed it to my class and they loved it and they are the most socially active people ever
Humans aren't getting more anti-social. People have always wanted to avoid each other for the most part. For example, books, newspapers, television, etc. Those are primarily used to avoid others, social media is no different. Except we can actually talk to others while doing that thing.
Gestice Hahahahahaah, resources please? And have you even been in Spain...
Villager Why do you need resources to know that people have always found excuses to avoid each other.
+Villager I'm guessing it's his opinion
Gestice Newspapers, books, and television were all created for exactly opposite that. They were all to connect all of us together. On TV, one could see places and people they have never even imagined. Same goes to books. Newspapers are all about informing us about what other people were up to.
TONYSTARK557 So is social media.
I am a witness that "Technology has made us [family and friends] more separate and selfish than ever." I also co-sign the agreement reclassifying Facebook as an "Anti Social Network." Of course technology and FB have their benefits and advantages, but promoting genuine/real family communication and connection is not one of them. Thank you for bringing the detriment of social media to light. ❤🖤💚
This guy is totally right on. We live in a world of technology and it has made us more isolated, stressed and more. Gives us more to do with less time to do it in. Can't talk to our neighbors but we can to people we will never meet half way across the world. Don't get me wrong. There are some good things about these modern toys but I would love to go back to when people were friendlier and we weren't so afraid to say hi to each other while we are walking the streets. I would still rather have real friends, like I had in the past, to actually see in person and hang out with and have fun. This world today is far from the one I grew up in and one I envisioned growing up. I am trying to spend less time on here and trying to get a real social life. How about you? Is this the kind of world you want your child raised in? I would hope not. Lets spend more time with real humans and less on these machines. Bring me back to the real social society. For me personally, there has to be a way to have a real social existence here In the lonely town of Phoenix. AZ. Everyone should watch and subscribe to this guy's channel. He is so full or truth.
Absolutely Randy...I had listen to it almost 5 times already..Incredibly true words spoken :-)
Is extremely sad that people are afraid of the truth and would rather believe the lies from most of the media.
+Hameed Cole :-)
+Randy R That aint gonna happned, we can't change the number of the year, sorry:)
+Randy R but you guys need to put your phones down and stop writing comments here, go and knock on your neighbors door and say hi if you wanna say hi:) Say hi to anybody, nobody's gonna stop you:)
DURR HBURR TECHNOLOGY IS BAD FIRE IS SCARY THOMAS EDISON WAS A WITCH
Just because your weeaboo-ass can't socialize doesn't mean this man's message is wrong.
Well, if he's a man, then he would be a wizard
Pop Frizzy wouldn't someone who can't socialize due to internet addiction actually agree with this guy's message, though?
***** not if the internet is the only way he feels like a man, keyboard warriors would be fucked.
he's not saying that :) he's just implying that we've become more attached to our phones than other people, which is totally true. Technology is great in some ways (eg. how we're communicating right now), but it's also bringing us apart in other ways and obviously this guy acknowledges this. now stfu with your weak ass over used tumblr phrase and stop trying to get likes on youtube
People accusing Prince Ea of being a hypocrite for using UA-cam are missing the point of his videos completely.
He isn't saying that communication by information technology is bad or wrong. He is just saying that we should spend more time with each other face to face. To be honest I agree with him. A few weeks ago I was at a lecture at university and during a small break we had EVERYONE in the room except me and the person sat next to be had their heads down looking at their phones.
Christopher Adshead I agree completely and you are a very smart person for pointing this out
Christopher Adshead yeah that's why he asks us to follow his Instagram, Twitter and facbook page at the end of the vidoe where he posts like 20-30 shitty stolen quotes.
Same here! At school whenever there is a break no one talks to eachother and everyone is looking down at their phones. It's so frustrating!
I agree. I am sick of being isolated to my phone :(
Christopher Adshead that is true
No way this video is 10 years old.
“Not enough Us’s and We’s”
Wii and WiiU: :(
Underrated Comment :V...
😂
@@ash4760 why hello, fellow Ash
Lily's world
Hi!
Omg XD
I'm more concerned about how he claims that AD(H)D is on the rise because of technology. It's a biochemical imbalance that people who have the disability face every day, regardless of how often they use technology. I don't have ADHD myself, but I have autism, which is similar, so I'd know a bit about ADHD.
isnt he talking about the attention disorder thing and not adhd? lol
@@voulgrim651 ADD means ADHD, and Boyinabands video "Don't trust Prince Ea" addresses how ADD is the wrong word to use in this video.
@@alexanderclark627 why would he talk about adhd and not the attention deficit disorder(ADD for short) when he's talking about attention span in the video? well, not that i agree tho lol
VoulgrimG ADHD and ADD are the same thing, ADHD is attention deficit (and hyperactivity) disorder. Prince EA is an absolute idiot who has no research or understanding on ADHD so if you wish to look further into it please google proper information and facts :)
Yeah social media and technolagy are horrible and causes add and also can you fallow my insta" lol pirnce ea is a joke
HII Prince Ea im just a rondom boy 15 years old im from south africa and i know you probably wont see this comment but I just wanna say i love who you are as a person and please never stop i see so many hate comment why if they even hate you they take the time to comment something but anyways thanks for the videos you changed my life and in a good way i have never seen the world the way i do now im always happy and always try to make athor people happy and i just wanna say thank you really THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO PRINCE EA Oh! and one more thing i did a oral at school about your video I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM and i got full marks my teacher said it was great and i told her about you and she said it sound like i know you how much i told her about you hehe but anyways thanks again PRINCE EA your the best!!!! NEVER STOP!!!!
R/thathappened
#prince_ea
my god you poor child, falling for such a hypocritical bastard.
Heh heh, I already see so many blatant lies in this video alone, shame you look up to him because I don't, he basically just made out my mental disorder was caused by phone usage... So apparently I was in the womb using a phone back in 2001, so did my grandma, and uncle and baby cousin... Oh wait that's because it's actually a genetic disorder and his statement makes no sense as how can a phone reconstruct brain chemicals that have already been built? Makes no sense
You are right
You were used in one of my school assignments. As I’m typing this I am doing that assignment right now. You should be proud someone is using you to teach a whole class.
imagine how long a deep convo about life would go for with this guy..
Leafy fucked up once again.. This dude did nothing wrong.
Leafy can't admit he likes something because he's a whinging lil b*tch
Yes he did. The pace of his voice in the video is over dramatic and fallacious, only taking away from his overall argument (if you can even call it an argument). He makes he worst points ever, phones and social media drastically increase social connectivity. This guy is bullshit and you know it
+Ryan Whitaker you'll look at this comment in 5 years and you'll know you're wrong, Ryan
+Nuclear ツ Ik pretty sure I won't because I will be using my iPhone 12 (or 9s, depending on the trends) to catch up with all my freinds on social media. You are trying to stay in the past and it never works
+Ryan Whitaker it's not about staying in the past. It's about how we currently use this technology. There needs to be a balance. You're probably too young to realize how things have changed for the worse. I don't blame you because this is all you know, you'll defend it and protect it with fire. But you don't know how dates used to exist, people made friends outside or at events (more often) and see, that's the point here. Human connection on a physical level is dwindling. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. There's a reason why videos like this exist. This isn't some one off dude. MOST people feel this way.
When he said "technolog-EE" i felt that.
HeyItzA X what was it supposed to mean?
10 years ago having to watch this for ela and is crazy how true this is being at the gym with friends even everyone's on their phones
