I found this video today along with this article.
I hope people realize how much truth there is to this video. It pretty much explains my life, that’s for sure. Except for the part about sleep - that’s 5-6 hours on a good night.
While I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to leave my laptop at home and pay more attention in class, I can’t get by without my iPhone (or my Blackberry previously). I wrote about some of this last year, but this video has made me realize how sad some of these realities actually are.
