Cell phones have consumed us.
Currently, we are in SOS mode. Verizon is having a Nationwide outage. They are expecting it to hopefully be resolved in an hour.
My mind immediately went to “what am I going to do? I can’t call Davey. How am I going to tell Meagan I have Josiah? This is not good!”
Quickly, I thought, “what did we do when we didn’t have phones? We went to school/work, ran errands, and went home. Everyone came home and talked about what they did that day. We survived and we will survive this outage.”
Cell phones have consumed our lives and not always in a positive way. It might be time to take a step back and disconnect from it a while.
