It’s been recently reported that on average we spend over two hours each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but using apps and browsing the Web. Spend that amount of time staring at anything.

Checking our email in a restaurant, sharing a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a fact during a conversation only leads to reading more instead of communicating orally. It’s no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones. However, never before has this phenomenon been displayed so vividly(生动地) as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Though only being online for a few days, it’s already been viewed more than 10.5 million times.

Ironically(讽刺地), YouTube’s statistics show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.

The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman, shows groups of people in various social situations, most of which are completely attracted by their phones instead of the world around them. It’s depressing(令人沮丧的) because we’ve all seen it, and sad because to a certain degree, we all do it.
