i'm not in a position to tell people how to parent but giving your kid a phone/tablet (especially if it has internet access) at 4 yrs old is REALLY young.
Goatvarro It is extremely dangerous too considering the amount of perverts that are out there. No child at that age should be allowed to have their OWN tablet or phone.
Just make sure they use it correctly.
iDevices have very good safety controls
Goatvarro much to young ( i got one in 3rd ONLY BECAUSE i have to fly across the country to see family. And i go far from my parents a lot so i need to stay connected
not young enough you get them before they are born LOL LOL LOL LOL
@Skunky Stinkerson This is relatable. Haha!!
turn off notifications. without the constant beeping and blinks the temptation to check your device can be dramatically lessened.
Lord Moriancumer | it's called "Do Not Disturb"
@Old Iron I will never turn off my notifications though
@@PlumbCarton5607 I never have that on though
This is such a huge problem. They should do another episode on Facebook-depression.
Good thing I have schoolmates that I talk to in real life
Specifically relating to body image issues
@@bridgetandrade349 And social standing issues too.
It's true; you see how successful your "friends" are and you feel like you're inferior. If you already struggle with depression, that effect is 10x stronger. You feel like you will never have a good enough body, a good enough job, a good enough family and that you'll never be good enough for a partner. Facebook increased my major depressive order so much, but since leaving, it has improved along with the help of meds.
I have depression but Facebook makes me feel great.
Are they mocking us, because we're on our devices watching this?
It's a tv program. Not that tv is any better
Baron von Limbourgh but your on RUclips so your obviously using a device
I'm using a laptop
@Old Iron I have instagram though
Braiden Fritschij I was thinking the same thing
Am I the only one who is disturbed by the lack of reaction from the parents when they find out their son is spending up to 11 hours on that thing?
Nope, you're not the only one. I was disturbed, too.
It is quite worrying how parents just let children stay on technology for long periods of time.
They'll just use the excuse that it's for learning purposes.
Nope. Not at all.
We have a saying on the interwebz - those are rookie numbers you got to pump those numbers up
I quit social media over 2 years ago and it is the most freeing thing i have ever done. I don't see me ever going back. I wish that people would just try it for a week to see how they feel at the end of it.
Heather Turner same! I quit fb years ago and it feels good to not be on it.
Extra ordinary Vtg interesting! So what did you do? You just basics quit every type of social media like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and instagram?
Extra ordinary Vtg no you didn't give up social Media. You are still on RUclips
Same here.. quit fb and deleted the account.. i only use RUclips, no Instagram or snapchat never had those..
Yes I feel so much release and I read more.
My youtube usage is at least 3-4 hours a day, no joke.
Same here, I tell myself it's ok bc I watch educational things.
So is mine
Dillsimmons ha mine is probably way more than that! I spend most of my phone usages day on YT!!
Terrell Johnson | RUclips is 6% of my battery usage 😮
@@PlumbCarton5607 you should probably combine that with how much your screen uses...
This is surprisingly confronting. I check my phone for my work and social media a lot. I feel a bit more conscientious about how often I'll check now.
Until you watch another video. Then you'll forget. I know I will
Wow, What a surprise! I didnt expect to see you here, how’s it going?
The Samsung tablet is just being used as a babysitter!
Yup. Out goes parental responsibility.
Yeah and take away tvs, computers and phones, and you know what society blamed things on? whatever was popular at the time. Did you know back in the victorian era, people used to complain about people's obsession with short hand written messages as oppossed to long well thought out, articulated letters and people have written complaints identical to the one's use we today for phones? that peoples faces are now always in short messages instead of reading long articulated letters. So....the pattern. People will continually critique and pass judgement on the things that orientate a majority of our time. Be it, TV, Computers, Phones, what is the actual difference, I could spend a month of my life watching historical documentaries on youtube, is that any less valuable than reading history books at a library? It certainly would take up more time if I did and far less convenient. Phones engage us into social settings that we would never be exposed to other wise. Which is good and bad for each specific reason. Internets cult of out rage created SJW's and also Critical Thinkers and Skeptics and everyone else. the good and bad are always present with everything. Long term effects of phone useage, try the long term effects of sports injuries from excessive sports activities that people force onto their kids thinking its good for them.
parental responsibility was thrown out by liberals making parenting methods that involve asking babies (even infants) if they want their diapers changed. it's neglect and it's hiding under this idea that we should treat babies like adults and not take care of them unless they ask you to. we're talking about babies walking around with constant diaper rash because they didn't ask to have their diaper changed so to do so would be a breach of trust. oh and don't think that a baby crying means they want you to take care of their needs because if they cry it means don't take care of them. i'm not even making this up. it's a real movement happening now primarily among young liberal parents.
sad
EXACTLY
i am watching this on my phone now...
Dev Everything i robbed a bank and didn't even have to wear a mask!
:)))))
This is true lol
Dev Everything me too ( inside my bed )
Hold up I thought you were watching on your shoes
My phone is always in silence, mainly because notification is annoying and nobody will call me anyway :(
Me too.
I liked your VR video ..
Me
Eliza Knight I can call you and msg you if ya like
My phone is mostly silent. I generally don't want to be bothered so I'm ok with it 😂
Mhel 2023 me too
My neighbor(s) have 5 children and my region recently had a big snow storm almost a week ago. I work from home and during this entire length of time the children have only been out to play once. Why were they outside? The power went out for several hours so they had nothing to do.
To me this is crazy. When I was a kid I spent hours outside during the winter.
@@edwardschlosser1 "feminized group of sissies" ...........
@@edwardschlosser1 I shoveled snow for dough while experiencing minor frostbite, mowed lawns and delivered newspapers as well while cherishing a 5 dollar bill or whatever. My contributions to Social Security thereafter started @ age 15 Lifeguarding/maintenance for the city pool. Since then, I have served in the Military, Fed Gov. and now State (Indiana). Each Generation is Different but I never witnessed such a lack of interaction and or attachment to the cell/smart phones in the last 2 to 4 years. It's not just young people with the cell phone addiction but people of all ages as well.
I’m lazy and proud
When i was a kid in 2010 i throwed snow at my mom and ate snow
That’s really sad what these devices doing too people’s mental and health
It's just the way things are these days. When I was a kid, my friends and I were addicted to riding our bikes after school.
The clasic when i was a kid
its true though
last decade we were addicted to tvs, the decade before that we were addicted to radio. people dont seem to care as much about smoking or alcohol though, despite them being actual addictions people cant just drop like that.
Yes, building make shift ramps and cruising till sunset.
Riding bikes is a healthy habit, staring into your cell phone, tablet all day is NOT! Big difference.
That little boy looks dead inside.
When I quit social media there was a lot of "I'll miss your posts and photos." Most of these people are people I know in real life. Some live far away, but they could easily text or call me. Nothing. Very few have made efforts to keep in touch. I recently switched to a flip phone to curb my mindless surfing. I'm liberated.
Take a look at the Black Mirror episode 'Nose Dive'. We are slowly getting there...
A lot of times, it's just more convenient to give a kid a tablet or a phone just to help them behave in public, sadly. I've seen many such children who spend all day on these devices, failing to interact with the environment (other people, toys, games, books, etc.) but becoming eloquent on social media or games, like the son in this family.
As was mentioned, giving him something to do outside of the tablet helps him cut his time down. The parents need to lead by example and put their phones down, too. My parents did the same thing, and they used to force me to read, interact with people professionally at a very young age, answer the home phone, etc., and they always led by example. Kids idolize their parents, and these parents can't place all of the blame on social media or the devices social media platforms use.
Well said, I totally agree.
Akshay Patel There are little children who are clearly addicted to computers, smartphones and tablets. There are ones who get on their parent's computers or smartphones and post inappropriate comments on news sites or other channels on RUclips. It makes it annoying for us adults. I agree with you.
I have never reared any children to my regret, but to see a "mother" addicted to her cell phone ignoring her children is pathetic.
Agreed. @@HighSpeedNoDrag
Junior just can't wait to get his very own cell phone so he can be just like dad.
there's studies that tell us kids under twelve shouldn;t use these devices at all as ladies says... I encounter countless phone zombies everyday in traffic, making my life dangerous, which really upsets me, not them, cos they don;t care about anything going on outside their apps, it's sad
Maaike Uijthoven : Yes I agree. My sister let my nephew play PC / PlayStation games from a young age. His addiction was obvious to everyone but her. She was the queen of denial.
Guess what? The kid is his is 20s, she is divorced from his father, but she still goes to make him breakfast, at her ex-husbands house where he lives.
I blame the parents. Your child will, hopefully, eventually grow up and despise you for being weak. People need to wake up.
Maaike Uijthoven why are you going after kids when this is mostly about you adults addicted to smartphones you should stop using it I got my smartphone when I was 10 and even I'm not addicted like what they are showing in this episode
i really don't care, just saying there are studies that say these things are bad esp for kids under twelve, you should read those first..only this past week i had about 20 traffic encounters with phone zombies, young and old, not just kids, but mostly kids
GamingwithMohamed you sound like a typical kid who is addicted to their phone but doesn’t want to admit it
Cards by Maaike I saw a guy texting and driving at the same time and he crashed and he almost ran me over.
ironically.. im watching this on my phone...
Angus Ho lol me too
Not only is this not ironic, but that’s not wrong.
We all are but eventually we gotta fix this
I feel bad for Jackson, he watches Jake Paul.
Logan Paul
Kevin Hong he needs to try #Logang
gross
10:37
I hope the content he is exposed to is regulated!
We had to literally stop someone from walking in front of a bus at an intersection in Brisbane once as they were too busy on their phone. There is more to life than likes and such.
That’s sad
10:22 he watches Jake Paul, I'm shook
Thomas Morin every 8 year old watches him lol
Thomas Morin It was Logan Paul
My little sister is ten, and my parents ignorants bought her a phone. Now she spends only a quarter of her day sleeping and the rest on her phone. Really disgusts me. She doesn't even goes to say hello to my dad when he come home from work. Kids under 13 shouldn't be given access to this devices. I didn't even get a phone until 13, what make her more capable to have a phone? This tech ruined family interaction.
This is true
I was given my first real smart phone and iPad when I was in 4th grade and I still manage to pray the rosary twice a day and once a day for the chaplet of divine mercy. That’s just one of the examples and I still have to practice my musical instruments. See? It depends on the person and not on the gadget. Lol hahaha
@@jayveeaurea9091 no ,most kids are NOT like you ,cut the crap ,IT IS the gadgets fault ,they are build to be addictive
@@SRBOMBONICA86 It's also the AI that's a big issue for politics as well
I thought it was a no brainer to not allow your young children use electronics unattended🤷🏾♀️
I thought it was, too. But apparently not.
We {as a nation} encourage people who don't plan {think} to reproduce and penalize those who do by wealth redistribution.
I have family members at both ends of this spectrum and watch kids of similar ages, behaving completely different.
It's amazingly sad. We used to tell people not to depend on calculators, now AI programs their impulses.
I feel like social media is also making all of us more superficial/shallow or narcissistic, on top of everything else mentioned in this video. I've gotten rid of Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. Can't seem to get away from RUclips and Twitter. Although I will say, I use Twitter for political news and RUclips mostly for news and documentaries so I'm not completely wasting my time doing nothing.
yeah, but thanks to smartphones remembering to set our clocks back is no longer a big deal.
Lolz. Good point!
Yes Larry but I wish the time change was NOT in affect. Remember the old wind up loud as hell alarm clocks back in the day.
I've never had one because I know I would turn into one of the walking phone zombies I see everywhere.
uh oh 5:19 "You're building amazing SHlT" haha Might not want to air that lol
I m addicted to youtube. There.. I said it..
RUclips ME TOO
Thank you. I needed this. It was sometime after 1am on the UK when I was about to switch off my phone when I saw this pop up in my notifications (ironically!).
It's literally got to a point where I'm wasting my life on Facebook. It's so addictive I check it first thing in the morning, ignore people's texts and WhatsApp and don't want to speak to others. I've noticed I've gotten lazier, I get frustrated plus my attention span has gotten so short. Normally I'll read a few news websites but I couldn't even concentrate to read.
Not only that, but it's like God keeps pointing out certain things I'm meant to be getting on with instead and I keep ignoring. This video has made up my mind. I'm old enough to remember life before the Internet was needed for everything so I just want a steadier pace. Use it for important things like events etc instead of splurging my life in it.
Not only that, but didn't they notice a certain swearword in full view on this? It's meant to be a family show!
Well said :)
LeArtiste D : I dumped Fakebook years ago. I am fine with quick texts but if you want to deal with me you need to meet me in person or talk to me.
FYI: YOU are wasting your life on Fakebook. Time to wake up.
Soma...the apps are like a drug that helps us escape from what our lives have become.
That's (fiction) books to us intellectuals
Facts an that’s scarying
nonstop n unlimited harassment by facebook ever since i got this smart phone in feb.early this year.postings unlimited no. of strangers all over my screen soliciting my friendship that i've absolutely not interested in! delete postings requested were totally ignored...shame !!
this is the true zombie apocolypse its already here and its only gonna get worse
You are so right! We throw the term around thinking it is sci-fi but what do you know..we have become the zombies!
Zombies we are
Smart devices are making humanity just the opposite.
so true....it should be called anti-social media
Facts an that’s scarying
Who allows there kid to have there own tablet? And they never sleep! Crazy!
Josef Holzer
Are you some old man?
It's a good question. A little kid shouldn't have a tablet or at least access to one whenever he wants. Realistically, neither should the teens since they've shown they lack impulse control and the capability to make a sound judgment call when it comes to turning off their phones.
@@MikeTXBC byyourlogic no teens should have access to a phone , as well as the majority of adults. When it comes to phones almost nobody has impulse control
@@McLovinMods Technically, I agree with your statement. Most of the so-called adults I've met haven't psychologically progressed beyond high school (if they're lucky).
MOST kids have a TABLET or PHONE .... SAME THING!
People need to step up and actually parent,stop throwing tablets and phones at your kids. Phones are pacifying people to not care about real world issues. Stop enjoying moments.Like concerts,nature etc.......People stop enjoying real life. Its funny that people think smart phones make them more productive when in reality it makes them much less productive,
I left social media abt 1 year ago and I LOVE it. I chose to bc of anxiety disorder and depression; I was on FB and I would be reading/seeing pictures of people's children, their achievements, etc. while and simultaneously feeling like more of a failure than I already felt I was because I was struggling to get depression and finances under control. I don't care to look at my phone. I have to leave it off of my person at work for HIPAA reasons, and I don't even check it but once or twice a day to respond - selectively - to my best mate's text msgs and to make sure that there is nothing super important (like a txt about my bank account or a medical emergency). I also play solitaire when i need to entertain myself in some other fashion and have forgotten a book or my sketch pad.
Tips: Turn every notification OFF (except maybe phone call). You'll end up spending waaaay less time on your phone. Thats what I did and it helped a lot.
I'm legit addicted to my phone! I looked at my RUclips stats one day and it said I watched RUclips for 6 hours within 24hrs. I was like how tf! I have a serious problem!!!
I feel like an old man among others around the same age but I'm only in my mid 20s...I don't do any of those...Only a few friends of mine don't extensively use their mobile devices, the common thing we share is probably we all don't have social media or barely ever use them. The ironic part is I'm a software engineer currently working on mobile development...
The mom says she's worried about the study exposing her as a bad mom. I wouldn't call her a bad mom because she lets her 8 y/o spend up to 10 hours a day on his tablet, but I would say she is neglectful, as is his father. They're letting his device spend time with him, so they don't have to.
Reason we Americans you Canadians and rest of the world is addicted are games,texting,and apps. Its also technology that allows us to do anything even order food at restaurants for pickup or delivery.
TSpider Keeper : I like the McD app. It works, great deals, easy, I don't have to deal with bad speakers or a snotty employee.
right
I ordered pizza while traveling through the US when I wasn't even sure what town our hotel was in 😂 we normally go to places like diners but Dominos had no problem finding us. And we found the hotel on hotels.com before we got off the highway and my phone got us there with Google maps
@@rosestewart1606 would you people even be functional without these phones lol
As I watch this show on my phone 📱😉
Self control is key.
yea right try telling that to companies because the companies literally hire psychologists, addiction specialists, etc to make there products as addictive as possible trust me the cards are very much stacked against you
Splak : Sure. If you are an adult. I think it is criminal to give children under the age of 16 free access to devices.
KILLKING110 : And people give these devices to children. Why?
Splak ,4 year olds don't have any.
@@zerohedge9642- People give these devices to children because it's a whole lot easier to raise a brain dead zombie than a real human being.
I started feeling anxious just watching this video... but I guess I needed to watch it. Even though I have no children. I think I needed to watch it.
One topic that should have been mentioned in this video is how texting or visiting any internet site, interferes with a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle safely.
I’m literally watching this addictive show on my phone using the RUclips app, which helped me find it. It is addicting...
When you're walking to somewhere by yourself, there's no problem using your phone on the way, but once you get there, maybe turn it off lol..
I'm 19, and I am proud to say I am not addicted to my phone. I barely use social media on it (maybe 3 minutes a day)... I use my cell phone mainly for calling and texting, and other productivity stuff (like calendars and banking). Most other stuff I do on my desktop- even Facebook, I prefer to do it on a computer. The nice thing about doing things on your desktop is that it's not constantly with you, so you can only check it at certain times. If I was given a flip phone instead of my iPhone, I would have no problem with that
Good for you! A flip phone is safer, for sure...not as much radiation.
Get a flip phone and take it to the next level. I have one guy who has a flip phone working for me, the other two guys have smart phones. The flip phone guy is by far my best worker, because he is never on his phone.
RUclips is doing something and on my RUclips it allows me to set a reminder to take a break after as frequently as I choose. The problem is is that I end up just ignoring it. I'm typically on my phone when I'm doing housework, so I watch out listen videos to make the time pass by.
Thank you for all your work! This is an awesome 'awareness' video!
5:16 Did they even censor that on TV? (look at the board)
Read good books best solution
I remember the world before smartphones! It was so much better than it is now!
Why do they single out smart phones? This should apply to personal computers in general whether it's a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile.
In addition, the most important factor is a breakdown of the _type of usage_ - viewing/listening/reading non-interactive content, writing public content, accessing social media services, playing games, and simply talking with people.
Mshojat Because the Smartphones are so small and handy! We carry them with us everywhere! More potential for addiction! They have become a Necessity in our lives!
This cellphone addicted generation is called “The Walking Dead!”
Lol I use my phone a lot my eyes be stuck on the screen smh😂💀
My cousin and spoke about this very issue last night. If I could get away with it and only stay in touch with family and friends via email I would ditch my phone before the day is over. Society functioned just fine without cell-phones.
Thank you very much for this video ! it is tough reality how much time we spend online. Shutting my phone down now, going to woods
Marketplace's investigation reveals how artificial intelligence and neuroscience helps companies hook people with their apps. You can read more about it here: www.cbc.ca/1.4384876 ^bb
CBC News I've binge watching marketplace for the last two weeks so what does that mean?
"helps companies hook people"... as if the "people" had no responsibility. In my view your report is truthful, and demonstrate what I notice, overwhelmingly, every day: people looking at their smartphone. Hopefully, your report will inspire some to switch off.
🙃 just got a notification from Apple saying my daily average is 15hr and 40 some minutes. Trust me I
Don't have a life
These shows make tech out to be all bad. But in the last year I have learnt to play the piano, speak and foreign language and improved my maths skills using apps. I would never have been able to afford private lessons but apps made learning more accessible for me.
7:20---- I do this too. I only watch sports on TV but I find myself grabbing my phone during every commercial or stoppage in play.

who says im addicted to my smartphone 😐
i use mine primarily for music. yes i check my facebook and instagram and stuff like that, but mainly music is what keeps my attention. self control is key
i had a zeal few years ago i loved it but my mom made me switch to a iphone for a find friends app when we went to disneyland haven't went back but i still don't use it for more the 30 minutes a day sometime never at all but 1 thing i would love to know is overage data when did they start charging more for using the internet more? Would also love to know how people break there phone is it cause people are addicted to using it or something i had a phone for many many years and have never broken one and my whole family has gone through at least a few broken phone it all different ways
The problem here is not the phone. It's human behavior. Just like guns, knives, or anything else. "I need my phone". WHAT FOR? To gossip on facebook all day? Again, priorities at the wrong place.
Uh Joe, Guns, knives and or Sling shots are a totally different spectrum Dude. You are Right regarding Human Behavior, but have never witnessed a person and persons addicted to a device such as a cell phone in comparison with a weapon.
Unless you just choose not to use one, but unfortunately, many people don't make that choice, or not for long. @@SRBOMBONICA86

Well i need a phone because i fly on a plane alone to visit family. And also i have to take the bus for an hour to school. So i have to be able to communicate with my parents and other family members. But i do use social media and contact friends
DJ FX thats very true!
I will never be such a zombie. I still have an old cellphone (10 years old) and I hardly use it. I wont buy a smartfone.
Right on and I have a flip phone. I can access internet at work or at home but not addictive. I am 53 now and alcohol is MY problem.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag 😂😂sorry your honesty makes my day
wow! who knows whats the app name they use in video for usage tracking?
Does that app track absolutely everything you do with your phone? I read, listened to music, and watched shows before I had a smartphone. The main difference in terms of what I spend my time doing is that I'm now able to do the same stuff I've always done using a single device.
those billionaire phone companies keeping you on your phone poor instead of out making money and getting rich
I'm addicted to my smartphone because it gives me the ability to share with others what government and mainstream media won't.
2 years later this is even more relivent.
I try my best to get my children off their electronics. Every day, I tell them, “put all electronics away” for a specific period of time throughout the day. It works a bit.
“Well, we’re bored dad”
Me; “that’s good. Being bored is good. You’re a kid, figure it out.”
"Why -you're- simpletons [are] addicted to -your- their smartphone[s]"
Fixed.
Luckily I use my phone an hour a month. Maybe less I dunno.
Update: I don’t even use my phone for communication. I canceled my phone plan.
Safir wow
I should do that. Not even kidding.
Yeah... that's pretty smart to let 3 month old < humor "Jackson' call the shots !!! love it
I'm just over a month since quitting social media. I'm so much happier. Took about 3 weeks before I stopped instinctively going for those icons.
RUclips is the only thing I use, mostly music, news, or self help channels.
So nobody's gonna talk about 4YallEnt making an appearance? :O
good eye fam
Didn’t recognize him without the DU!!!
We´re going to talk about what we are supposed to talk about - flat earth, flying saucers, science, education, spirituality, manipulation of the electoral college, how the actor based reality was behind all the false flags, etc....we will know intuitively what to talk about and when, because that is what we are supposed to do. If the 4 YAllEnt is going to be part of that, then we will talk about it...
Funny. My smartphone is usually somewhere in my car or my backpack - generally empty from me forgetting to plug it in. I hated mobile phones back in the early 90ies when they came up and that hasn't changed. There's nothing I really need the phone for except when I'm stuck in some ditch with a flat or when I'm out on a trail and something goes wrong. I much rather interact in person with people, so yeah, I might be the politically incorrect friend who shows up at the front door unannounced because I forgot to send a text that I'm coming over.
Quick fix: set your phone to mute. That's my setting. I will check when I feel like it and that may be days...
I'm actually kinda like you!
Uwe Schroeder : Good for you. I am over 50. Rare for anyone to say they don't check their phone every 10 seconds. As far as showing up unannounced? Nope. Not at my house. At least call, first.
I agree but I’m not a fan of surprise company. I would say it’s just a generational difference but my grandmother is the same so It could just be the way I was raised.
I grew up when some people didn't even have a phone, much less would use it for something as trivial as saying you're coming over. So you'd just use the door bell for that. If someone opens, good. If the person opens and says "sorry have to time today" - good too (although that happened rarely). If nobody opened, just move on.
I know, these days you have to send a text before you ring the bell or knock or even pull up the driveway. It really is a generation thing.
Having grown up in a world without mobile phones (just "the phone" on a wall or counter) gives me a different perspective on this as well. But there are many people fitting that description (like the parents in the clip) who still got sucked straight into the vortex. Everybody needs to turn off their phones, read the first chapter of Thoreau's Walden ("Economy"), and reflect on what they really need. P.S. I blame the X-Files.
Thanks CB news you open my eyes,this is really really complicated in my life, I had people on Facebook and they really oppressed me auntie now they following us, mostly from in to America
So true
Sorry but kids under 14-16yo shouldn't have a smart phone or tablet.
Yes, why not limit the future generation access to futuristic items!
Alcohol addiction is less dangerous at this point in time, because at least we have laws preventing people from driving under the influence, no one throws a fit about DUI laws acting like they are horrible.No we have DUI laws to prevent us from serious harm or murder. Yet when laws preventing people from using their phones everyone gets angry and thinks its absurd. We should penalize car manufacturers for putting devices built inside the car,and require them to stop manufacturing built in tablets and a device thatll shut down your technology until your cars engine is shut off and stopped. People think that hands free and built in technology is safe,because why would they manufacture cars with these devices if they where dangerous? People are too trusting of car manufactures. Its NOT the device that matters its how it EFFECTS your brain when driving, hand free and Bluetooth is equal to that of hand held texting while driving..Its safer to drink and drive.
Fukai Kokoro there are laws about texting and driving
Thank you!
No devices for my future kids for the first several yrs and restrictions when i do finally let them use it. So many kids are addicted nowadays
how sad.... Jesus died to give us life and we call our phone "its my life"
I get it but this is not the place for it
Jesus gave up his life to serve Lord Shiva. Not for u.
@@yungmajin4860 There is always a place for Jesus - There is always a place for YOU in his heart - that is why he died for us. I also want to point out that it is written - but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
@@Non-religiou Answer me this - what do you think would have happened if Jesus chose to listen to Peter when Peter told him that he should not go to Jerusalem to suffer many things and be killed ?
@@Non-religiou Your response is telling me you are unable to understand my point. Let me explain for you in an easier language. You wrote ‘ don’t bring religion into this ‘. What I understood from that is that YOU are telling me to stop telling people about Jesus. Now my response means that Peter did a similar thing to Jesus by telling him that he was not to go to the cross. Now if Jesus had listened to Peter in the same way you want me to listen to you , then no one would be able to be saved and inherit eternal life because the world would not have a saviour. JESUS was sent to save people from their sins - WE are here for the purpose of telling people about Jesus so they can go to Jesus and be healed and saved. There are people in this world that cannot be silenced no matter how much people scream and shout at them like a child who is having a tantrum because they cannot get their own way. Here is an example - And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. As he was drawing near-already on the way down the Mount of Olives-the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” Now to respond to your latest message. It is also written in the Bible - Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
