1. funny that im using social media to watch this…

2. I struggled with my smart phone addiction

3. I put my phone on silent at night.
   I have most of my notifications turned off. I'd rather look when I have time.
   I use my phone for music, calls, calendar, maybe calculator and games. When the app is needed.
   I mostly use my phone when I am alone in the bathroom, or when I'm smoking.

   I try to reduce the usage though. For psychological reasons and EMF

4. okay this is kinda off topic but do y'all ever realize how many people in the crowd cough during the talks?😂

5. no jeff, there is a difference between a figurative leash and literally being on a leash

6. Smartphones are part of us now. The day the information will be go through instantly instead of brain>finger>phone, we will say "we are machines". We already are 😏

7. Most people don't realize that. YouTube the same way the more subscribers notifications from likes comments you have determines yourself worth that is wrong. You're self value is not based on social media likes and comments subscribers. I got too the point in life why should I give people who don't care to contact me on a regular day-to-day basis permission too look at my photos? And why places your self value in the hands of people you most more likely will never meet? It is such a shame that most of your living rooms people spend more time on their phones than the ones that live with them.

8. People want money. So does this man who talks about addiction.

9. lmao idc im going to keep going on my phone

10. DAEBAK 💜
    I appreciates your way of talking and how you conveyed us.👍
    perfect for my project…..Thank You😁

11. Is this video actually true? Or is he just providing false information and we don’t know it?

12. Look at today's world brothers killing brother, sisters killing sisters, where did the world mess up. Soon all kids that soon will be adults will care about gang violence and there phones, look at today vs 50 years ago I can name over a million reasons why 50 years ago is a way better time to be.

13. I'm here because my mom thinks weed is effecting my life. But in reality my mom is addicted to her smartphone scrolling the Facebook home page non-stop in her free time.. I can't even make a simple question. Whenever I'm talking to her, she doesn't even respond me back because she is looking her phone.

14. I've been in London for 3 years and still need google maps in the city! Helpful but my god I need to eventually learn routes!

15. I've never had a smart phone. I thought about getting one, but talked myself out of it. Good for me.

16. I get hooked into watching Ted talks on my android

17. He's got big arms!!

18. Tip number 4, use a calls and text only phone.

19. i just destroyed my smart phone with an axe 🙂

20. It's a safer drug since everyone's using it! Like the opiate epidemic! 😂

21. You can never get rid of fb! You can only deactivate since businesses think they own you and in a lot of ways do! 🤔😂😂😂 to late

22. Who thinks nowadays!? Lol what does Google say?

23. Yes I do agree that smartphones are 100% addicting.. but the first story about the woman & her son presents smart phones as these terrible things that murder people due to lack of attention.. & even though it’s a true story, if the object was changed to something like a book, the same events would occur. I think instead of creating a fear for people, educating them on WHY they’re addicting (which this video did), would present just as much power to the statement. No hate on the Ted Talk, just trying to get my opinions out there.

24. Man I really thought this was held in China until I saw the "ohio"
    Thanks editor.

25. Give the kids there phones there talking !!!

26. So, you'll have smarter people but maybe lazy smart people..

27. Watching this on smartphone itself is a paradox

28. He is such a hunk. He is all about that bass…woof

29. Take all that stuff out of your front pockets before going on stage… You're not on a building site.

30. I don't have a smartphone.I do notice people can't freaking hold a conversation with you without f'ing with their smartphone checking social media every other minute.Welcome to digital crack people.

39. I’m ashamed of how dependent I’ve become with the iPhone. I use to try to get my family to not use it so much and stopped social media altogether. Haven’t been on Facebook in over a year. But more and more I’m on my phone. With music and videos on YouTube and I’ve noticed how dependent I was when my phone screen broke and the stores were closed and I had to go only a day and a half with out internet or phone at all and I saw how dependent I was. I went to bed and woke up and went to get a new phone. The motivation I had was as if I was on drugs. I have to do something else ASAP

47. Although the advantages of smart phones are numerous, it is important to recognize that they have many disadvantages and have a significant impact on many modern diseases and brain structure changes.

49. We had our flip phone 25 years! Knew what was coming and refused to upgrade! Two phones with two different phone numbers with Verizon for $53.00 per month, 700 shared minutes, unlimited text, that is all we need, or want to use. Friends call us on the land line, or come visit, or forgetaboutit, we forgive you and we will outlive you!! 🙂
