That second video is right along with what I meant. Both of them were sad to watch. Apart from the Moment app being able to track where you’ve been all day (as a testament to …what? How unaware humanity is that a person can’t even remember where they’ve been throughout one single day?), which I find off-putting and creepy, the overall intentions of the app are pretty useful. At least it’s a step towards a bit of self-observation 🙂

Thanks for the link, David.

Definitely, thanks for the comment Dara!

I understand why it’s illegal to use your phone and drive at the same time. It’s almost impossible to have awareness on more than one thing at once – researchers have even proven that’s there’s really no such thing as multi-tasking; that when we try to do it we’re really just switching our attention quickly from one thing to another which makes us ineffective.

There are heaps of drivers on the road nowadays using their phones while driving like you said (and not just at the lights!). Hopefully it doesn’t get worse or there are probably going to be a lot more road incidents.

Well done for resisting the fb temptation. I’ve found it can be a good way to find and share information, but it’s so easy to lose time on there doing nothing really productive at all! I also read recently that fb were doing studies to try and influence people’s emotions through what they displayed in their newsfeed which adds a whole new dimension to the issue of addiction!
