We've been all there. Seemingly enjoying a nice conversation with a friend when you suddenly realize you've been talking to yourself past ten minutes while your friend has been texting, Instagram-ing or Tinder-ing.
Matthew Abeler, a student at the University of Northwestern of St. Paul with a keen sense for observation, noticed this as well. He began thinking about how technology affects our relatioships and the types of messages we send to our friends and families when we choose to use our phones instead of engaging in conversation. So, "Pass the Salt" was created.
What's you opinion about texting ?
Are we addicted to technologies?
Write a brief comment after watching this video guys...enjoy!!
My opinion of the first video is that people shouldn´t text when they stay on the table because it is a lack of education and respect and also the other people who are in the table will feel bored and think that you are a selfless.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is when we stay with the mobile phone we can miss several opportunities and meet other people as shown in this video. We have to take advantage of and when we go to the street or we go somewhere to be aware of our family or friends and moments.
I think when you are with other people, y shouldn't be with the phone because is rude and the other person feels ignored.
ReplyDeletePeople should leave their phones because now a days everybody is adicted and the can't meet other people.
I think that is a lack of education to stay at the table with the mobile phone with other people. My opinion is that we mustn´t lose time and stay with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteHii Cristina!! I think that be texting while you are with your friends is wrong but sometimes in your free time you want talk with others friends that are far too.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that be texting staying on the table is a lack of education, we must to wait to finish the dinner time to what our messages.
We should not spend time and we must enjoy out friends and family.
It is a video showing what is currently happening in houses where live young addicted to technology, that, even in family meals, use the phone. The video try to say that is a bad habit that we shouldn´t do and also does it in an entertaining way.
ReplyDeleteI liked very much!
My opinion on the first video is to be with the phone to the table is a lack of education for the rest of people who are on your side. And it is much better to talk to your family.
ReplyDeleteOverall I think the mobile and social networks to communicate it are so well, but I see people in the street that are look at the mobile phone instead of around they. I think that if the people go out is to stay with their friends and to have a good time, not to be connected to social networks.
I think we shouldn't use the mobile phone at the table, because it's a bad gesture and the people who are around us can feel unattended. Also I think we musn't use the mobile phone while we are with friends,... We can use it but, if we stay a lot of time with it, we can miss important moments we'll never know in our life.

ReplyDeleteHello Cristina , my opinion of the first video is that people behave badly when they use the mobile phone when they are with others as this is disrespectful and when they ask for something and you realize the coast are wrong to be with mobile phone, and yourself feel bad when a person is doing the same thing you just did .
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion, when you are together with your family or friends do not use the mobile phone is a disrespectful .
I think we especially spend much time texting, seeing instagram ... and we don't realize that there are more world beyond screen mobile.
ReplyDeleteFor that reason, I think that we are addicted to technologies, the worst is not that adult people vitiate mobile phones,it's that childs knows how to use a mobile phone before they learn to talk.
Indirectly new technologies create accidents, some people use the phone while they are driving or while they are passing a zebra crossing, endangering their lives and that of others.
Hi Cristina, my opinion of the first video is that people shouldn't text in the table becaose is a lack of education, and I think that the second video is not true, in part, becaos when we are in the street we are not always with the movile becaose if we are with our friends we are talking with them and having good time.
ReplyDeleteI think that the phones are good for communication between friends and family or for search informancion if it is necessary. It's good to talk with friends through the mobile, it is a good way of communicating if that person is not with you at that moment and you want to talk to her, but it's rude to be chatting while you are in the table because so you ignore those who you have around you and they feel despiced. Just like walking and chatting in the street, because of this, many of the things happening around us and we lose them for this cause, also, many accidents happen.
ReplyDeleteI think if we spend much time with the phone we don't enjoy what is happening around us and the people that we love. I also think it is very rude if you are with someone and you are paying attention to the mobile when we have to enjoy that person. A phone can't give us the same as a person.The technology is very present in our lives, it can help us but also it can hurt us in our daily lives. We have to change that.
ReplyDeleteI think that the video is a real situation that happen all the days in a lot of houses and a lot of persons are adict to the technology, and we must change this and to have more dialogues with our family, and we mustn´t depend to the technology.
ReplyDeleteHello Cristina !
ReplyDeleteMy opinion of the first video is that it is a lack of respect to be chatting by the phone when you're sitting at the table.
We should take advantage of every opportunity to talk with our family or our friends. Because if you're texting the phone you can miss many opportunities, as shown in the second video.
I think that these videos can help much to realise that it is better to talk to our friends than be chatting with the mobile.
Hi Cristina!
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that if we have friends or family that are too far, we should text them, but not all the time.
We must spend time with our friends and our family here, and without mobiles.
If you are always with the phone, you will miss a lot of opportunities for meeting new people or having a great time with friends.
Is better hanging out, than staying at home with technology.
I think that eating with the phone on the table is a disrespect to the people that are around you because you don't pay attention them because of technology and they can be angry. And in the secon video i think you don't pay attention to the people around you because of the mobile but sometimes you can see them.
ReplyDeleteIn the first video, people shouldn´t have the mobile phones at the table because its a lack of education. We have to turn off the mobiles and talk with our family, because its family time.
ReplyDeleteIn the second video, people siwtch off the devices and look up, because we could lose a lot of things in our daily life.
Hi Crisitina.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion about the videos is that people, especially young people, use much the technology gadgets (such as mobile, computers, etc.) and we do not realize what is happening around us.
I also think that, if we are with friends or family, we should not use the phone because its a rude aspect for the person who is with me. We shouldn´t use it while we're eating because, apart from that it is also an aspect unpolite, we have to see that other people are bored.
We must use less the technology gadgets and enjoy with our family and friends, if not you will miss a lot of opportunities.
I think using the phone in the table is not a good idea because you wouldn't speak with your families and this is very important.
ReplyDeleteThe second video it's true because you can loose many good things using technology instead of talking with friends or meeting new people
I think it is a good example of how we live nowadays, people are always with their mobile phones even when they aren't alone and it is not a polite behaviour. In my opinion, we should use our mobile phones in this situation only if it is an emergency. The technology keeps on advancing and if we don't stop doing that, we won't have any social live, or we will, but in front of our computers in our houses.
ReplyDeleteI think that the young people use the mobile a lot of time and we are less sociable. The technology is advancing very fast and is very important in our lives but sometimes we must turn off the electronics devices and return to the old live,without any mobile, computer, TV or mp3/4
ReplyDeleteI think using the phone when we are at the table is too rude, because it is a time to spend with the family. Technology sometimes affects our life, because we are always pay attention to the mobile phone. For that reason we miss the possibility to stay with our family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI think too, we shouldn't use the mobile phone when we are with other people, because they can get angry. We shouldn't think that use the mobile phone is unnecessary, we can do many funny things outside.
These videos try to tell us the importance of reduce the using of the technology, if we don't do this, we could miss many opportunities.
