A YouTube video, released on April 25th, 2014, has sparked one of the largest debates our modern society has to face. It’s a familiar scenario to all of us. It could be in a bar, at your friend’s place or in the metro – someone’s always staring at their smartphone. We’re posting our best moments and experiences on Facebook, Instagram, our Blogs, Twitter and Vine. We have hundreds of friends on Facebook, with whom we communicate everyday thanks to social platforms. And yet we have never been this alien to them. Our way of interacting has to change. This is the message Gary Turk wants to convey to us.
Of course everyone has his own opinion on whether or not our “Super Social Media” era is good for us and our interaction with other people.
Regarding this debate, Gary Turk wrote a wonderful poem. With a touching video and background music he endorses his monologue.
