Look Up

2018-09-06 19:26:44 UTC

The video called Look up has many reasons as to why we should just stop or take a break from using our phones or social media. The message I think its giving to us is to take back a look of everything thats in front of us now, rather then when its to late. Like the example it was giving about a guy looking down to his phone and missing the chance of what could have been his future. The fact that everyone now uses technology or social media to talk to one another is devastating. When in reality its easier to talk face to face, rather then to look at a screen and type words. Its no use if we have technology doing things for us.

This video had a huge impact on the way i look at life. I watched this video and two minutes before this i was on my phone. This made me realize how many times i go out and sit on my phone. I go out with my girlfriend and we both turn off our phones so we can actually spend time together. I see so many people out there doing nothing but post on social media. I do the same thing when I'm out and just really don't want to talk to anyone because i don't know anyone. Instead i will talk to more people rather then look at a screen

As teenagers we tend to pay more attention to social media rather than life. I really think we shouldn't let social media run our lives. Life is do much more than social media and texting friends. I'll rather see my friends in person and spend time with them rather than looking at them through a phone screen. As kids we think there's nothing more important than our phones. In reality we're missing out on everything that's happening in the world.

Having a phone or a computer isn't a bad thing the bad thing is when you can't stop using your phone and your computer and it becomes a real problem. If you use your phone more than three hours a day or while you are walking you should try and look up. If you are using your computer too much you should go outside and talk to your friends or make new ones. Being on your phone while you are walking is very disrespectful not only are you not going to be paying attention to where you're going you might not see cars or people trying to get past you but they can't because you're on your phone. It is very frustrating if you are driving and someone is on their phone and they're not looking up and they take a long time in front of you and you get annoyed well if you do the same there is going to be a person annoyed because of you walking and texting in front of them. You should not spend too much time in your computer either because you don't know the opportunities you can be missing.

This video had an impact, it even brought me to tears.All he say is true people these days are really stuck on some innovations that just take time from you being with with your family
and enjoying the little moments.When I go out to eat with my family I see children with their I pads playing games and not talking to their parents. I as well take part on this because I am always on my phone and I miss so many special moments.As a 17 year old that i'm and a future mom and grandmother I will be I don't want my child to come into a world of technology.I want my child to be welcomed into this world my a good doctor that isn't a doctor for the money they are getting paid.I want my child to enjoy life and live life to the max and is not sitting on their phone at home or playing video games.Technology is taking over the world and its not nice.After watching this video will help me change and enjoy life a little more.

This video made me realize how little interaction actually happens in my day to day life. From the moment i wake up, i have a reason to be on my phone. Instead of saying good morning and making conversation with someone in my house, i'm looking down at my phone. Outside of school i communicate with friends through technology. Instead of hanging out with them at the park, like i used to as a child. Listening to the words in this video, makes me want to improve my social life by interacting more with people face to face.

This video has changed the way I've been looking at life. It has showed me how many chances you miss by being on your phone and how much you miss out of life.This has impacted me to stop looking at everything through a screen and to put my phone down and enjoy life.

I learned in this video, I’m living in a generation where everything could be google or look up online so now privacy barely existed. So now us as students have our reputation at risk or our image. One thing that the video mention and I did not know about is digital footprint. What is digital footprint is exactly most of y’all might be wondering , digital footprint is that you could search someone name and see they online account and their pictures.

This video look up has alot of reasons as to why we need to stop being on our phones so much. We should not be on are phones all day we should take a break from social media for a while. People spend way to much time on social media,it needs to stop. Sometimes i walk into restaurants and i see two people sitting at a table on there phones. We need to look up from our phones and computers and realize whats going on around us. People need to stay off there smartphones and computers and interact with people in the real world

This Video look up talks about how many people in this world spend to much time on there phone. They give a lot of reasons in the video as to what this world has turned into with cell phones. It made me realize that I need to stop spending so much time on my phone and actually get involved in the real world. Every time I go into a restaurant and I am walking past tables I see everyone on there phone. They don't even communicate with the person they are with.

This video spoke truth into what every single adult is thinking. The part when he said how you can have hundreds of “friends” but they’re not really your friends. I personally think this video is something every teen should watch because it explains in how you need to look up from the screens or you’ll miss something. How you need to start living in the moment and not through a device in your hand. How you need to live your best life and that’s not by looking on a screen 24/7. This video perfectly explains how everybodyhas learned to work around and include the electronics in daily life but really you should put them down and be in the moment because at the blink of an eye everything changes.

This video made me realize that we all as people spend most of our time now a days on a digital device. We are kept busy by looking at what others are doing. We miss out on all of the opportunities that could happen in real life while we waste time on a device. We should all try to disconnect from all types of social media and interact with people. Getting to know someone well. Seeing how they react to what is being said and listening to their perspective about any subject of matter. We should all be able to realize that social media doesn't make us communicate with people. There are people that just care about who sees the stuff that they are posting, only wanting attention to what they are doing.

This video did a very good job at highlighting how society functions. It has really opened my eyes to what I actually do when out in public. I try my best to not be on my phone or social media when out with friends or family, but sometimes it happens. My family and I even have a rule called the "no-tech zone." We do it every time we go out, and it allows us to actually communicate and interact with one another. There are so many people out in society who only look at their phones. I have friends who spend more time on their phones when they're "hanging out with me." This video has inspired me to spend less time on my phone and social media, and to interact with society more.

This video had a major impact on me. It shows how our generation is addicted to electronics. It showed that you can miss important moments with friends and family. I also learned about digital footprint. I learned that anyone can be looked up and be found online. This made me stop using my phone and social media a lot because I realized there's much more out in the world than just a small screen.

Louis Fonseca- Social Media

I have to agree with this inspirational video. It really gives new perspective on how phones and technology can waste so much time. I think for parents to spend more time with their kids through physical interaction like going to the park or hanging out basically. Put limits on technology so kids can spend time on things that matter. We waste years of our life just looking at a screen in our houses or anywhere we go and we don't even realize it. This video gives a good message that I really believe that us millennials should take and apply to our daily existence.

This video changed the way I see life. Looking at your phone most of your day can make you miss a lot of opportunities when it comes to daily activity's and even missing the chance to meet new people. Like the video showed, the guy missed out on the love of his life just by being on his phone out in public. This video has made me want to be more open and talkative to new people or even people that I know.

The video look up talks about how people spend to much time on there phone and never get off of it. As teenagers we tend to spend way to much time on are phone and we don't interact in the real world. If you have ever gone to dinner and noticed that everyone is on there phone. No one can get off there phone. it has become way to addictive . People need to start looking up from there phone and not spend to much time on them. .

This video showed me that there are so many opportunities missed out simply for social media. "Looking up" in this video may have been a bit exaggerated but it is definitely still a problem nowadays. If people were to pay attention more, our problem were to be solved but our naive ways side track us. Once we get passed this we are going to get better at living every moment.

This video had a great impact on me. By sounding like a poem, it really moved me, because mostly of its rythme. I think that it has a very important message : in itself, a phone, a computer, social medias, etc, aren't "bad" or "dangerous", but the way our society of today use them are. Because of all the hours, all the days we spent on it, we forget to look up to the world around us, to look up to the people who are around us, who are there for us. We think that a message can replace a face-to-face discussion, a human interaction. Two or three sentences quickly typed can't replace a real word, spoken with a real voice, a real touch, a real embrace. And we are so locked up in our own virtual worlds that we don't see that. For example, in the video, we see what would have happen if he had been on his phone, and wouldn't have look up to see the stranger who would become his wife, his world, the one he would love. That really touched me, because we have to stop thinking life will come at us, and we need to go get it ourselves, in the real world, not the one we build with people who don't really know who we are.

This video had a similar effect on many people as it did to me. It made me want to reflect on myself and rethink my relationship with technology. Although technology is a necessary tool in today's society, we tend to rely on it too much. One thing is to do your homework on the internet and another is to use it as your only means of socializing. I, too, am guilty of this horrible habit. I've been aware that being so attached to my phone screen takes away from the experience that is life itself, but this video brought to my attention how impactful on one's life it can be and to what extent.

Technology has changed the way we live our lives. We now depend on technology more than ever, and forgot how to live normal lives. Kids don't know how to go the park or even hold a conversation like regular people. Now in our lives we pay more attention to our phones than our actual lives. This video has made me understand how technology has been changing the lives of everyone. I'm a victim of using my phone on a daily basis and not getting the full experience of life.

What I learned from this video is that, we are in a generation where everyone is attached to their cell phone, computers or other devices. It showed me how much we miss out on every day activity's and interactions because of these devices. As teenagers we use social media a lot and usually let it run our lives. This video also showed me its important to have a balance, to much of electronics will have a negative impact on the mind

After having watched "Look up" by Gary Turk it has shown me a very valuable lesson. That lesson includes not being consumed by something that doesn't have actual significance to my actual life. Unfortunately being addicted and tied to a device distracts us as social beings from being interactive with one another. This is scary to think about because the only way we can progress as a society is to help one another out and if we are distracted we will never be able to do that. All in all i feel that we as people should put down our phones and care for one another instead of doing it behind a screen.

Look Up

2018-11-09 19:38:44 UTC

This video has helped me understand how life has changed. Technology is great but to much of it could be bad. This video's purpose is to show how we need stop caring about our social media life and care more about your actual life. In this generation there's less interactions than in other generations. I blame Social Media for this. We need to care for the little things and protect them.

This video had a strong effect on me because in just 4 minutes it managed to make me think about how many occasions that will not come back in life we miss out because of social media.
I think it would be good to warn young people to make them understand that the real life is not the online one, but the one outside the doors of our house with people who we love.
all of us now tend to spend a lot of time n social media in our days without realizing our online life could isolate us from the world more than we already do every time we keep our head on a screen.
the beauty of real life is incomparable with a picture that we can post or with a message received.

real people, places, and moments that will become memories must be the center of our lives.
I think it's extremely important that each of us commit ourselves to leave the phone off for a while and go out to enjoy the beauties of the world.
social media and all the new technology has made our life much easier, but we have to be able to manage them better, putting first the things that really are the important in life.

This video had an impact on me by showing me that every time I use my phone I am loosing time. I spend a lot of time on my phone without caring about what's happening around. This video showed me that I could be doing something good, for me and for others, I could be doing something that will make my future better, and something that could help the society, not only seeing what's happening in a world that I don't even know if it's real.

In this technological revolution, social media has allowed our generation to become more inclusive as we are able to meet like-minded individuals, who we may not be surrounded with in our local communities. Although, social media has given representation to a massive amount of under represented minorities, it has also resulted in a lower quality of life as our generation now finds it difficult to have a true connection with another individual. Among all individuals my age, we all share the same experience of an outing with friends where a majority of the time is spent not conversing with the people right in front of you, but spent staring at your phones. Children no longer share the love of nature and adventure as those of the past as they are locked up in their rooms, staring at screens, and playing games with their so-called "friends", who they know nothing about and have probably never had a conversation with. This phenomenon has resulted in children who lack any social skills as most of their day is spent alone, or interacting with individuals, who will never be anything more, but an acquaintance. As I watch this video, it inspires me to give myself a restricted period of when I can use social media and when I must learn to appreciate life: my surroundings and the close relationships I have fostered. In all, I would like to decrease my dependency on technology and would like to put forth effort making new connections and bettering my present relationships.

I'm not saying technology is a bad thing but once it starts taking up most of your time and distracting you from whats really important, that's when it becomes a problem.

2018-11-18 12:53:57 UTC

Social media and technology has seemed to take over our life. We so easy resort go going on our phones when we have nothing better to do. There is so much to life we miss out on because we just keep our heads down and don’t give much focus to the world. This generation and future generations could really work on communication and being social face to face instead of thru the phone. Even though these technological improvements are doing a lot for the world being sociable is good every now and then. Also when we are on the go looking at our phones isn’t always they best, it can lead to lack of attention and then lead to someone possibly getting hurt. I’ve learned that i need to be more in the actual world not just my own world.

I was shocked watching this video. I actually didn’t realize how much we depend on the technology and smartphones in general. Only now I noticed that I wouldn’t be able to go out without my phone just because If I ever got lost I wouldn’t be able to find my way back home without Google Maps. I know...I it is sad. The one thing that I really didn’t like about the video was seeing how little kids don’t play outside outside anymore and barely talk to one another. I ember growing up, playing all day long in my garden with all my friends and I had the time of my life. I completely agree with the fact that now a days we are more interesting in showin off what we got rather then just living the moment with people we love.

When having a computer or a phone or any device that is an electronic is okay. But once you start not paying attention except that it is gonna start to turn to a problem. Dont get me wrong it is fun, all the games on it and communicating with your friends but life will be way better without none of it cause you will know how to communicate in the real world. Communicating in person isnt hard at all, takes confidence and courage. You have to care what people think. To improve your social life interacting in person is way better, it will build your social skills. That is basically what i got from that video.

2018-11-29 14:37:59 UTC

When we were kids we would interact a lot and not rely on technology so much. But as we grow older we tend to be attracted to what everybody else has and whats cool in the day. Therefore you start using technology but then it becomes a addiction and your hooked up to it. You like it so much that its the only thing you rely. Then your social life gets bad and you dont know how to be social. Anti social is the worse thing to be. Interaction is always happening in your day to day life. Therefore minimize your hours on your devices and go out with friends or family or even by yourself and communicate with others and most importantly have fun !

Technologies are medals with two faces. One of them is good, the other is not. Technologies has helps us to communicate with other people in other part of the world; but at the same time today we can communicate with our friends from the sofa, we don't need to meet each other face to face. I think the virtual world is virtual it is not the real one. Many times we forget about that and we don't see what there is in front of us. the beauty of the real and physical word. We forget about people.

The video impacted my views on phone usage. I Realized how badly the world has gotten addicted to phones. Everyone tries to show a perfect life. Even though its fake and isolating us. Phones are taking away social interactions. I realized no one talks anymore and all they want are electronics and the next big thing. I learned people should stop using their phones so much and be normal human beings, not computers. The world is happening all around us, not just in our phones.

When the speaker said we are a generation of smart phones but stupid people, it made me realize that just because you have the resources to all this knowledge on the internet, doesn't mean that there isn't so much to learn. Interactions are so important and this video touches my heart by showing what could have been but was prevented from constantly being on your phone. Looking up and living in the moment is so important and has been proven important from this video.

This video left me speechless. In fact, now a days, people do not pay attention and do not realize every single beautiful things that surround ourselves... and all that just to see someone else's breakfast picture? Is it worth it, to lose the beauty of a tree, of a person passing by, or anything else just to watch our phone? It certainly is not!
Gary Turk used an emotional tone in order to touch and affect the viewer of the video "Look up!". This video lead the viewer to reflect about what is happening in his life and, gives him motivation to change his habits: let's all leave our phone and start looking around us! Who knows, maybe we could lose the opportunity of our life just because we are to focused not talking to real and not virtual people!

This video shows me and all who watch it that we are in a generation that take everything we have for granted, is say this because we have a beautiful world full of beautiful people but we rather look at our friend’s new snapschat post. I have witnessed with my own eyes a friend that would call me over to hang out and just talk about what this person posted or what another person commented under their picture. This is the sad truth in our society today, but that does not mean it’s to late . I feel I’m the prime example of that, I have been able to come to terms with deleting both Snapchat and instagram. This is because I am trying to strengthen my love and faith in God, but I have found that through deletion of these I have experienced less drama, stress, and a sense of relief came over me. I advise all others to take head to this message and watch the change unfold

I don't think that having a phone is a bad thing. Its when you get addicted to the device that's when it becomes a problem. I think social media is a great way to stay connected with the world but putting down the phone when you are with friends, or in the car with your family, or out at dinner with your family is a better option and is something we should all pay closer attention to and monitor how much time we spend our mobile devices and social media.

Social media

2018-12-06 18:32:33 UTC

The video shows us that sometimes we should lay down our phones, or electronics and enjoy ourselfs.
That we should make most of today and risking our future to yourself for a minute. It impacted me by showing that we have changed, less social and in contact with each other, enjoying there presence. This can help us as that we can be different, enjoy our life more than our online identity

This video has impacted my life in many different areas and has also given me a different train of thought. I notice that my smart devices are keeping me from really seeing the world as a whole. Whenever I'm home, I turn on technology to be informed or amused by things are most likely not real. Social media has given me a false aspect of the true world. How could something so smart keep us from enjoying the little things in life? The answer is simple and I use it as motivation to stay positive and refrain from technology.

Joshua Guzman- Social Media

This video is a great reminder to put down the phone and "look up" into the real world instead of being trapped by the rather mesmerizing social media platform. Although in public functions such as road trips, dinners, and hangouts I usually don't go on my phone, I do call people out when they are. Even I find myself a victim of this when i'm about to go to sleep; as I stay up an hour later catching up on current post and feed. Many kids and teens at a young age tend to pay more attention to the phone than the wildlife around them, losing focus on whats truly important. Whats truly important is the real life connections we make such as love or friendship for something or someone that can only be truly expressed through real life rather than a digital screen. I hope this video reaches more teens and younger kids alike to open their eyes into whats real rather than being infatuated and swayed by social media constantly. Social media is definitely being misused today in forms of relationships and should primarily comeback to face to face interactions.

SOCIAL MEDIA

This video is so true. My parents always tell me the stories about how back in the day, everyone was outside enjoying the days, they knew how to socialize, and thats how memories are made. I want to make those memories like theirs but i cant because even in school, everyone is on their Ipads and no one speaks to each other. We dont have a lot of time on this earth, and we choose to sit on our phones and not see what God has given us.I feel like i could do more without social media but the everything in the world is connected to it.

Joseph Donnelly

2018-12-12 19:41:31 UTC

Personally, I disagree with the message that Gary is trying to get across. I do not think that spending time on my phone is harmful to me because it "makes me less social" or that I'm unable to control my actions because of this. Social media, if anything, is an absurd improvement compared to what possible social life I could have without it. Instead of being limited to a high school full of racists and bigots, with maybe 2 or 3 people I can truly connect with, I can find people from all over the world that I can laugh with, share experiences with, and be happy with. And while I'm certainly opposed to a complete annihilation of physical socialization, there's nothing inherently wrong with making friends via your phone as opposed to having to seek someone out.

My opinion on this video and just social media in general is that yeah the world that we live in now we really depend on technology like our phones and computers. All this is all useful and beneficial in our society but its also a problem and danger if we dont use it the right way. We cant get too attached to technology and our phones because that can really just take over our lives in a negative way because it can impact the way we communicate with people in real life and it can just really take over someones life and really just lead them the wrong path. It can lead them to not being able to communicate with people in person and can really effect the way they react to certain situations. so basically what we should do is use our phones for a little bit yeah a little bit of using our phones wont harm anyone but have a limit with it and go outside and interact with your friends and family

Phones, computers, smart watches, virtual friends, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat... they're all part of our lives ; but is that even our lives ? When was the last time we stood in front of a landscape without taking a picture ? That we went to a concert to actually enjoy the show instead of filming it ? That we talked to a person in real life before we text her/him ? This video made me realize how much life is important and we throw it away. We throw it away because life is about opportunities, moments ; things that are never exactly the same if you didn't catch the moment. This video made me realize that I don't want to spend all those moments behind a screen. I want to be actor of my life not the cameraman.

Jason Buritica

2018-12-17 18:04:08 UTC

My opinion on this video and just technology in general is that its extremely crucial to our lives and really can benefit us in a lot of ways and it can also really hurt us too. Thats why we have to really keep track of how long we use our phones or laptops or just any type of electronic device. Cause that can really take a toll on our lives too and it can turn out to be very unhealthy for us and really take over our lives. It can take over our social lives and the way we interact with people in real life.

technology is ruining our lives. we are becoming anti-social and the reason we are is due to the fact that were always on our electronic devices. We as people must understand that life is precious. We can't be locked up in our room for hours and do nothing, we need to do something with our lives. If u wanna play a game about soccer, go outside then or if you want to talk to your friends, then go outside.

This video impacted me in a way I was not anticipating it to. In the beginning of the video I was stuck in my ways and didn't believe what he was saying. I didn't think that I had a problem with my phone as I am able to put it down when the time calls for it. However, when he started talking about meeting people and starting relationships, it came to my attention that I cannot truly enjoy my life if I spend more time on my phone or computer than with others socializing properly.

In this video, Gary Turk shows how much Social media and the use of electronics such as phones or computer influence our lives. Indeed, he takes example on a man that without a phone would've had a complete life with a wife and so on, but when he shows how it would've been with the phone, he misses his chance because he didn't look up. He really demonstrates how always being on the phone can be bad for us and our society. I think that video, Look Up, made me realize that i might be too much on my phone or computer and maybe i should Look Up and actually be part of a world of real things instead of just an illusion. That video is an inspiration and I think it should be shared on all social media so teenagers and daily users of social media take notice of it. Without technologies or at least less, our society would be a lot more united and people would talk more about it. Once again, I really liked this video, and all of us should take example on it.

This video open my eyes and make me understand that I live in a word where the cell phone is becoming addicting, everybody is using the phone and sending messages to communicate with the world, but every day we loose direct contact with people even with family members, and sometimes we are home but it is like we are in some other place because the phone distract people from reality, i missed a lot special moments with my family and friends, because i don't know how to manage the time i spend on the phone but today my new goal is don't became a phone addict anymore and spend quality time with people, I'm very thanksful for this video

This video has shown me how much you get distracted by your phone and computer. Technology is taking over and people are losing real human contact. Many people hide behind a screen and feel lonely even though all the “friends” they have on social media. There are so many opportunities and experiences that you are missing because you spend your life looking down at a screen. In the video they explain that technology is not necessary a bad thing but you need to regulate your time on social media because life is just going to pass you by.

this video is extremely one sided and made me more mad then upset, it only focuses on the bad side of cell phones and technology. There are a tremendous amounts of benefits. This video does not impact me whatsoever because i know both sides and thinks it is wrong to show only one side. Technology has changed the world entirely, kids still play outside and people do still talk. Personally I am outside constantly, meeting new people, talking to new people. This video is extremely biased.

This video has changed the way I see our technology. It has encouraged me to look and try to experience the world around us instead of looking at our screens that have taken all of our interest. As a whole we need to learn that we shouldn't take our world for granted because we only going to be on it for so long.

Jeremy Diaz - Social Media 1

This video by Gary Turk made me realize many things. One of the things I realized was how I, myself, also fell victim to the idea that social media connects us more with people when really, it distances ourselves from those closest to us. We spend so much time sharing what we are doing rather than actually being mindful and living in the moment. The video also mentions the idea that by not using social media, it allows us to meet that special person. Whether that's a significant other or a best friend who you can have good times with. To put into a few words, life is defined by the people who we surround ourselves with, not with the amount of likes that we get, as the video mentioned.

Julian Garcia

2019-01-11 16:28:29 UTC

This video had a huge impact, this generation of human society is stuck looking down instead of looking up. There is way more important and better stuff to do then be sitting down and watching videos all day. Have for time to yourself and with your family, the quality stuff in life. This has severely impacted the way i look at the world now. I have realized that life isnt about looking down at basically a gadget that wont really help you in the long run. Just sit back and enjoy life as you know it.

This video is extremely one sided and does not impact me at all. This video only shows the way technology negatively effects the world, it does not even bother to show the benefits. I have a cell phone and still go outside, as do so many other people. This video is biased and just makes me upset that people believe in this. Of course, there are negative sides of technology, but there are also many positive outcomes. I want people to ''look up'' and notice how ignorant they are if they believe people do not socialize in person due to cell phones and other technology.

This video allowed me to see that our generation is based off nothing but technology. Social media has allowed us to create friendships with people we are really not aware of on a true personal basis. With these smartphones, we seem to be lost. We use our smartphones for almost everything. But with it, we tend to miss out on so many important things in life. We should put our smartphones down experience life as we once knew it. Everywhere I go I see from toddlers to older people on their phones. Can we do anything without our phones! If we look up from our phones, we can see the things in the world we truly miss.

I think that there are a lot of benefits using technologies. I think that progress is the key for life but at the same time we have to keep in mind our human part. we ave to keep in mind the thing that the world on our phones, computers, tvs and tablets is not the real world. It is a virtual world. the real world is the one that we can interact with people physically not through a display.

After watching this video, I realize how my life has shifted from when I was young. It proved to me the importance society has given to modern technology, such as phones, and how social interactions have diminished. It also helped me understand how phones affect our lives, both negatively and positively. It is important to keep social interactions as much as possible because phones don't show real human emotions when texting, and it surely doesn't help us keep an idea of discussion because we are used to talk in separate locations.

The problem isn't having social media, its the time spent on it. Everyone has some form of social media and we all get caught up in knowing everyones business. But you miss various opportunities when you stare at your device all day, you could be making friends or helping a person in need. no one posts about the bad things in their life. its all just an illusion created by the person. when people go out they find it necessary to post where they are, who they are with and what they are doing. it has become an everyday thing. Its fine to be on social media but for a short period of time. there is so much in life that is missed because people look at their phones or their computers. out in public there are not many human interactions anymore on the streets. kids would rather FaceTime their friends then go see them, but thats not always bad incase they cant get out or they are doing something else and can not go see their friends. social media has a bad reputation and its not all bad but its not always good.

Watching this video made me further realize something i already knew about. I watch this video and it makes me want to stop using my phone and talk to those around me and make them realize what how bad a phone is. This is a topic discussed very frequently and it is sad that some don't understand and to see future generations be born into this type of world. Being on your phone constantly is really bad for both you and those that surround you for many reasons including safety. On a daily basis I use my phone for many more hours than normal because I believe social media status matters, and that is deceiving. Technology has become a part of my daily life which is why after watching this video i'm motivated to stop for a short period of time and see what benefits are brought to me.

I think the video was very interesting, and I see the point its making, because in today's age people are glued to their phone 24/7 on these social media sites talking to people they probably have never met. This makes me glad I've never had Facebook, twitter, or Myspace. I mean for the right reasons, like trying to keep in touch with family members who live faraway or actually talking to friends and people that you associate with is something i think social media should be used for, but besides that i think everyone should either talk in person or on a phone call.

Having a phone is harmful. There's no avoiding it, it's instant entertainment within reach at almost any moment. It's not surprising that the device can be addictive. I agree that being addicted to it is a risk and which is why I try not to use it a lot, but I think that in the present day and age, can't really survive without one. So regardless of the fact that you can get addicted, people have continued to use them. I believe that everyone should strive to use phones less and truly experience the real world.

This video shows how many of us are missing out on all these exciting things that are happening around us. We are too focused on what others are doing with their life that we forget how it feels to live our own. Our world is full of adventures but we get caught up on seeing it through a screen. The amount of chances we are missing out because of social media is way to high. Its never too late to stop living your life through a screen and actually pay attention to the little things that are happening in life. Its sad but its never too late to change.

As guilty ourselves as to watch our computers for emails, to do our social media study, or as to have fun looking at funny cat memes on internet, we all are the slaves of this network of things that dictates our daily lives that we might call "technology", impacting us all that use this system. In this world where almost everyone gets a chance to do their best to enjoy their lives and the people that are in it, here we are, wasting our precious time on this, instead of changing the aspects of life that are less attractive than in this virtual reality. As we dream of an utopia, walking towards the lights of our screens, waiting for this "deus ex machina" to solve evry problem of the real world by steping into another. Today, by watching this video, we may be wrong to look at it, but we are in the right path to enjoy the world a little more, by starting to turn our devices off and to "look up".

In the video "Look Up" Gary Turk talks about this new generation people rather look at their phone then have a real conversion. If people have the courage to look up then they'll probably encounter something they never would've. The example Turk uses is a guy missing his chance to meet the love of his life because he was looking down at his phone. This made me realize that the new generation is full of artificial experience. For example when you go out with your friends and are unable to have a conversation so you looking down at your phone. Doing this cuts off the rest of the world stopping you from new adventures.

In this video, Gary Turk describes the ways that us people of society don't exactly pay attention to the world around us. And in my case, he is absolutely right. I usually spend my days on social media, talking to my girlfriend, or talking to my friends on discord. This video made me realize that we only have one life to live, and I'm wasting my time on my phone when I can be living it up with my friends and loved ones. As the newest generation, us kids are just paving a road to failure to our future generations due to all of this technology and development. At this rate, it must slow down because in a few years, we may as well turn into robots because our technology is advancing at a rapid rate. So in the mean time, go outside and have some fun.

This video has showed me that being on your phone all the time renders negative consequences. You miss things that happen every day and you dont acknowledge them because you dont notice them. From now on i will try to be n my phone less often so that i can pay attention to everyday events. nowadays social media is the number on way of communicating to others. though this may be a good thing for those of us who have friends or relatives who live far away, it can negatively affect young adults who prefer social media rather than having a normal conversation. early on in life it is beneficial to use and develop you social skills so that it is easier to talk to people and hold an intelligent conversation rather than not know how to talk to someone.

The video "Look Up!" discusses the universal problem of how a lot of people nowadays are always on their phones. Of course, having and being on your phone is never a bad thing but the amount of time you put into that can be the problem. You can be out with your friends or family and you could be wasting quality time with them. Why? Because you're always on your phone. This made me realize how much time I spend on my own phone around others. I should be more interactive with others.

Vanessa Wong - Social Media 1

2019-03-01 15:09:40 UTC

This video impacted me greatly, especially seeing that this video was made a few years ago and nothing has changed, only worsened. The need for technology, as emphasized in "Look Up" has undoubtedly increased, as has the addiction to social media. These aspects in our daily lives take away from real world experiences with those around you. The need for attention has overcome the need for interaction, and so moments that could be blissfully shared with loved ones is now shared in vain with those you seek attention from. Social media has become an addition and is devastatingly destroying social lives with friends and family, and even those who may become it. Looking up and disconnecting from such things to live life the way it should be is far more important than getting attention from the online world.

The video describes our life as it is today. Everyone cares more about their social media and phones rather than actually spending personal time with one another. As i watch this video i realize that I don not follow in these peoples footsteps. I realize that I do put my phone down and try to spend personal time with other people. When he talked about how put down the phone can help make experiences, i realized how much i could have missed if I was on my phone more. I am very glad that i have chosen the path that I did and got to experience the events that I did rather than being glued to my phone.

In today's world it is full of technology that everyone is addicted to. You see people walking down the street running into things because they cant put the phone down. The problem in the world is all the technology and how it has taken over our lives. People don't know how to have a conversation with someone or interact with others because they are always on the phone. All the technology has changed how kids brains are wired. Kids can no longer have there attention on anything else but the screen and they don't know how to play outside. Put down the screens and the whole world is in front of you to explore. Go where you want and met knew people and you never know you may find your best friend for life.

The video, “Look Up,” has taught me how our generation consists of using our phones and being on social media. Social media is not at all what it sounds like; it does not make our lives more social but rather take that away from ourselves. In the past I realized how much time I really spent on my phone and online, playing video games. Ever since last year, I realized how much time I was wasting on my phone talking to my friends or playing. Instead of doing this I now go outside more often and read a lot more. Not being on social media and playing video games for the majority of my day gave me time to ‘look up’ and actually enjoy my life, rather than just staring at a phone. This video mainly just made me realize that what I have been doing since last year, is exactly what everyone should be doing instead of being on their phones. From this video, I learned that we should spend more time with the people around us and also doing activities that may actually benefit us.

Evan Mahan, Social Media

2019-03-02 01:35:10 UTC

People become obsessive and care entirely too much about social media and their status. It too highly valued and other common activities are forsaken while people stayed glued to screen. However I don't think its such a severe issue among as many people as it implies. I do think people use it too much, but a lot of the times its a force of good connecting people who aren't able to meet. Personally, I use it limited to send stuff and quick chats with friends. Actual friend, not the mass following described in the video and other sources. Like many things, it is good in moderation, but potentially bad in excess.

Jesse Hernandez Social Media 1

Watching this video made me realize how far we've gotten through technology. I remember back in the early 2000's where I would simply wake up not having a phone and be social. Now that we are in 2019, I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is check my phone. Having a phone is not a bad thing, but it's how much time you spend on it because it can become addictive and make us less social. The world is happening outside our phones, not inside.

Jason Alonso Social Media Look Up!

2019-03-05 18:24:20 UTC

I think while most of the message has a point, there are still some things I disagree with. I think that people with a phone addiction should definitely try to get some help in order to better themselves. But to the casual user alot of what he says is hyperbole. Like when he says that we're a slave to the machine that we created. I disagree. I think most people use social media as a tool rather than the social media using us. People use it to get their news every day, or to talk to friends that can't be there in person. I know from being a teenager, parents can be strict. Sometimes kids aren't allowed to go outside all the time everywhere like how he described and the use of social media is just a symptom of it. We are still social all the time, life has just gotten more complicated for face to face interactions to happen as frequently as it did in the past.

2019-03-12 21:39:48 UTC

The video made me understand several things that I did not realize before such as the time people are in their technology devices and scrolling through social media. There is less physical interaction between people anymore which is worrying because we are letting many real life opportunities and chances go because we are blinded with the technology. It is sad seeing families in events where the kids or the parents are using their phones instead of having a conversation between them and enjoying the presence. Even though social media is not at all bad, we are using it in a bad way and we are starting to depend on it which is really worrying. People are becoming more lazy because it is easier to look up information or solve anything with the use of the internet. Sometimes I feel like we are like zombies when looking through our devices because the world is happening and time is running and we are just caring about social media which is just an illusion. We think we have a lot of friends because he have lots of followers or lots of likes but the moment you need help economically or other, this friends are not there anymore. People only show the good side of their lives in social media and not the dark side which is sad.

This video "look up" had a big impact on how i view social media. It made me think twice and realize that sometimes you just need a break from social media. you need to embrace the real world and stop wasting your time on social media. when you get out there and take a break from social media you will be 10 times more healthy mentally. Doing this will be an awesome experience and a life changing moment. It might not be easier to talk top someone face to face but it will make you a lot happier. at the end of thee day the lesson this video taught me is embrace life and have fun in the real world and stop being on your phone 24/7

This video impacted my mentality more than i expected it to. Although i’ve always thought we all need to cut back on technology use, this video confirmed my belief on that even more. Technology is not a bad or a negative thing, when used correctly. Society has begun to depend on technology TOO much. For relationships, friendships, jobs, jokes, news. There is no longer verbal communication. Changing how other people live is not an option, but i can certainly restrain myself from turning to technology for anything. Communication is important, and so is interaction. Though technology does bring many positive things, it’s important they stay positive and are not turned into something negative by overusing it.

Having technology isn't a bad thing. It's bad when you become addicted and can't stop using it. People spend are they're time looking down not realizing all the opportunities they miss. So we need to step away from our phones and learn how to interact and socialize. They're are so many things you can see, you just got to look up and open eyes. Little do we know what me may find. Talk to people and be social and productive. The moral of the story is to stop worrying about your screens and to start interacting with people.

This video changed the way i look at life. It really shows you that you should take breaks off your phone. Being on your phone could take away time from taking to your family. There are some people that just stay on Instagram all day and post stuff or just look through everything. You never know you could miss out on chances to better you off for the future. I don't think its a terrible thing that everyone talks over social media some people can't leave there house or live too far from each other.

Society as a whole is stuck. Being too captivated in technology that we have stopped to look at what is right in front of us. We have let our phones and social media control us. This video is a way for us to open our eyes to the truth.the amount of followers people may have on whichever platform doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day followers aren't as important as friends who are by your side helping you through your day to day problems. A group chat isn't the same as a face to face interaction with someone who knows and cares for you. Its time to LOOK UP. We must learn to come out the bubble may of us have secluded our selves to and stop depending on technology to make us happy.

So this video was all about how technology has begun to take over our lives. How it's begun to deprive us of our right have different experiences . I do believe that this is a fact and many people allow technology to control them. But I also think that technology can be a very good thing. You can always find a healthy balance between technology and real life. Everything can be unhealthy for without a balance between the two things. This balance keeps us from going overboard on either sides of this argument.

This video made me realize how little face to face interaction occurs between people on a daily basis. We teenagers spend a lot more time on our devices than talking to and spending time with other people. We miss out on everything that's happening around us. Another thing the video talked about was a digital footprint. Digital footprint is very important especially when talking about teenagers. A lot of us don't realize that when we put something out there, it is out there forever and affects our reputation. Watching this video makes me want to make changes in my life. I want to be on my phone less and pay more attention to my friends and family.

I am amazed at how this video is portrayed and its speaking the truth. Its impacted me because of the truth of us always looking down at our phone and missing so many things. These days everyone is on any electronic that is available and its not right. Knowing that children don't go outside to play and say being inside in front of a screen is better is just sad.

This video impacted me by showing me how to actually live life. We shouldn't spend our lives looking at our screens and texting others the whole time when we can talk in person and have a great time. We are able to make fascinating memories with each other as we live life with each other. To see how our generation be so attached to our phones and technology is disgusting. We even act different on social media than we do in person, and it shouldn't be like that. It makes me realize that kids now don't go outside anymore, when I was younger I'd go everywhere with my friends on my bike and have a great time, kids won't know that now. We need to fix that and make people enjoy life through their own eyes, not through their phones.

The video called look up was about how social media impacts are everyday lives.I am on my phone a lot. I tend to be less social around my family ever since i got my phone.Social media does really take a chunk out of my day but it doesn't necessarily stop me from being social.People nowadays just have to better their time management.They miss the opportunity to meet new people and add happiness to their life all cause they are too busy on their phone.

The video called Look Up demonstrates and talks about the ways that our society nowadays is impacted by our phones and social media. It talks about how individuals now do not communicate with one another anymore and instead spend all the time on their phones. We have become an isolationist society, where people no longer interact with one another in the real world and instead spend all of out time looking at our phones. He talks about how people need to break away from this and start communicating once again and living our lives. If we do not do this we are going to lose who we are and it has impacted me because it shows me how addicted we are to our phones. This video reminded me to put my phone down and spend more time with the people around me.

Our generation is using social media way too much. The social skills of many people are not so advanced simply because they'll rather be on their phones going through social media and talking to they're virtual friends instead of enjoying the moment they are living in with people that are around them. I blame myself for being on my phone and social media a lot. Me and my friends go to concerts and we could be recording the whole time or posting stories on our favorite social media platforms and only when it ends is when we realize that we recorded most of it instead of living in the moment and keeping the memories. We are going to a concert in a few weeks and my goal is to not record as much and enjoy my time there. We would enjoy our time and our life much better if we look away from our screen and admire what we have in front of us and focus on quality time with our family members and friends rather that being on our phones. This world has a lot more to offer us than just social media, and we should appreciate that.

When I watched this video it opened my eyes to the real world. This video showed me that there was more to see than what is on my phone. I saw this video and looked up and talked to new people. I made new friends after this and helped me be more social. This video changed how I look at other people and how I go through my day when I use my phone less. It changed the way I view life using a actual perspective than what is on the screen.

I have learned a lot by only watching a four minute video. This video reminded me that we as a species are distancing ourselves from one another. I learned that the majority of us are spending most of our life in technology. Like prisoners, the next generation of humans are falling into the same cycle, believing that this behavior is normal. This video reminded me to let go of technology every once and a while. As well to go out and enjoy the world. Since we are given a limited amount of time ones lifespan.

Well, I have to be honest, this video made me question my very state of mind. For almost every hour of every day, I am on my phone. I realize, now, that this isn't very healthy nor is it very productive. I want to go out every once and a while, hang out with my friends and talk, sit and have dinner with my family and chat. The only problem is, sometimes not everyone will feel the same way. However, it is up to me to put my phone down and look up. I am willing to take the first step; to put my phone down and just look at my surroundings; to talk to people; to communicate.

Maya — Social Media

2019-04-01 01:24:02 UTC

I agree with some of the claims made in the video. It really opens up your mind to how technology has changed us. We need to know when to take a break from social media once in awhile. However, technology isn’t bad. It keeps everyone connected. We can communicate with people all over the world, which is a good thing. We can also stay connected with long-distance friends and family. It’s good to be connected with people online but it’s also important to be connected with the people right in front of you as well.

Casimer Rashko- Social media 1

I found the things he talked about very true. We as people are very attached to our cell phones (especially us teens). We literally can't live without our phones. I found that I myself do the same things that happened in the video in my life when i'm out. For example i'll keep checking my phone to see if someone texted me or go on Instagram and check it.

This video gave me a new perspective on technology. It showed me how little interaction i have with the world. I would be on my phone all the time. I would like to start hanging out with my friends more than i text them. Because later on it will help you down the road when you are trying to get a job. You will be able to speak confidently.

This video is speaking straight facts. Personally, I find it so sad that almost every kid by the age of 5, has an ipad or some type of tablet just to keep them entertained. Kids need to go outdoors and get scrapes and bumps. My heart kind of ached a little when he said something about be the greatest dad you have to actually talk to your kid. I try not to spend much time on my phone because I'm always playing softball or some other sport. I really enjoyed this video... I believe other kids need to watch this video

Kyle Skidmore Social media 1

After watching this video, I changed how much I use my phone. I used to use my phone basically all the time, wherever I went. This video encourages people to "look up" and talk to people more often. If you are out in public and look around, you will see that most people are on their phones instead of talking to the people that they are with. This video have an impact on me because now when I'm out with people, I don't use my phone as much. I encourage people who haven't watched this video to watch it.

Christian Roque Social Media 1

2019-04-04 14:00:05 UTC

I feel that the video sends a valid message. The message being that we are becoming way too attached to technology. Personally, I only use my phone for Facetime and almost nothing else. I have seen people lose out on family time because they are glued to their phone. I feel that people need to realize that their phone isn't as important as they make it out to be.

The video I watched was an amazing eye opener. It showed at everyone these days are consumed by their phones and their social status. No one realizes that time can slip by so quickly and we lose track of what is right in front of us. In my opinion everyone that has a phone now is subject to lose touch with what is in front o them. Us children are just as guilty as adults with spending time on their phones other than with family when they have the chance. This video has really opened my eyes and showed me that human interaction is slowly dying out and being replaced by phones. Time can really slip away when caught up in front of a screen.

I feel like this video can act as an eye opener for many people. Often in our society everyone is plugged in and they are unaware of their surroundings. They are absolutely oblivious of what is going on. But if they were to look up every now and then, they would see people. People living in the moment. And i feel that if more people did that, life would improve.

This video shows how technology and our phones can really distracts from whats going on around us. Such as when driving which is very dangerous. As well as being on your phone during a family gathering or dinner. I believe its important to be present during times like this than be on your phone and mentally away.Instagram, snapchat, and twitter should not make us who we are and how we act and instead be used alot less. The many hours spent on social media and our phones can be spent with excercise or family.

This video has taught me a lot. This generation is nothing but technology now n days. I personally aren’t my phone more than I should be. In the car, at home, anywhere I’m always on my phone. I don’t talk or communicate or engage with friends of family because my nose is in phone. Technology has changed honestly I think for the worst. We always look up to our phones or the internet. I constantly check my phone, instead I should be leaving it at home and go and just enjoy the world and appreciate my friends. This video has really opened up my mind and had me think about what social media is really about. Social media is not that important.

David Lozada - Social Media

2019-04-15 14:03:42 UTC

This video opened my eyes and realize that our generation is always looking at a phone. We miss out on so many moments and we're even out in danger (driving and texting) because we won't stop looking at our phones. I think we should limit the time we use on our phones. I like hanging out with friends, but most cancel plans and give excuses but I know they won't be doing more than just sitting by a computer. Us teens need to realize that we have an addiction to our phones and we should do something about it soon.

Our society today is full of technology that everyone is addicted to. People are so distracted by it that they run into things just walking around because they are looking at their phone. The problem in the world is all the technology has begun to take control of our lives. People are begging to not be able to communicate with others because they are always on the phone. All the technology has changed how our brains are wired. Kids don't even play outside as much anymore due to technology. if they would put down the phones they would know the whole world is in front of you to explore. You can live a happy life if you learn to enjoy technology in moderation.

This video "Look Up" really said a lot. Personally, just the title of the video means more than just look up! Sometimes this generation gets too caught up in the phone that they barely look up to see whats going on. Sometimes this generation just needs to go a week or two without social media.Social media is not only impacted this generation. It is impacting the whole world. People has gotten so addicted to social media that they almost near post their whole life on it. Social media is really corrupting our minds. I will not let social media corrupt me. I will do so by being more engaged in the world/environment around me.

Look Up

2019-04-18 13:46:37 UTC

This video has shown me that i need to communicate more. I use my phone too much i don't have face to face talks with my family enough. I think we need to pay more attention to the present. if you think about it all of your best memories are without your phone. They are face to face interactions. It is imperative that we slow down with the technology.

William Lowdermilk

2019-04-26 12:10:06 UTC

After watching Look Up, I have gained a new perspective about how I look when I am always on phone. Technology is an addiction, just like many other things. As a result, I feel being constantly glued to my phone limits my social interactions with other because it has made me just a little bit socially awkward. Although I have been trying lately to get better about the amount of time I spend on my phone. When I am with family, I try to stay off of social media and things for as long as I can.

the video makes you very aware about how my life is. It shows us that we need to take a break and and enjoy what we have now and stop focusing on what we want because sooner or later you will miss your chance. For Example if i wanted to get a nice car but i focus on that i will lose what i already have. that would be my mom, dad, brother, sister, pets and most of all your friends that support you. its even better when your talking to someone over the phone because it meas much more when you tell them in person. that's what's you should care about what you have now but not later.

This video called look up has made an impact on me. I realized not everything revolves around my phone. To really connect with people I have to "look up" off my phone and interact. There's no reason to be on our phones as much as we are. Especially on social media because it acts as an illusion of what we should be. It shows all the happiness but never the emotion. That's why I have to start looking up off my phone and enjoying everything around me. Social media and the usage of my phone in general must decline because my phone is consuming my life. After watching this video, how I go about my daily routine and life will change forever.

This video brings attention to the rising issue in today's society. Often times, people's first reaction is to worry about capturing a moment electronically, rather than in reality. It is so important to try and not worry about our phones so much and just embrace the moment instead. Personally, I prefer living in the moment rather than worrying about capturing it on my phone. In real life, it is crucial to build relationships and connect with people. Unfortunately, many people have probably missed out on a chance of a lifetime.

This video brings up the rising issue in the world today of being more worried about phones than real life. Unfortunately, people nowadays are more concerned with capturing a picture than capturing a moment. This video sends a message that living in the moment is crucial to life in general, and we need to understand that. Personally, I like to stay unplugged when I am doing something especially with people. Tons of chances can be missed by worrying about your phone instead of a real experience. Life is all about connections and in order to make connections with people we have to live in the moment.

Kayla Burns

The video shows that before technology kids played outside and they were more involved with each other in person. Technology has taken over and now people are more lonely then before because people can talk for hours and be 100 miles away from each other. When you are looking down you miss so many things that aren't on social media. People have become so caught up in technology that they shut the people out. They would rather share with a million strangers then to share with the people that they live with.

Andre Patterson

2019-05-07 14:03:33 UTC

The video shows the effects your online presence can have on the rest of your life. Things that are posted on the internet are never going to disappear and it's going to be how people can research you for the rest of the existence of the internet, which will be with the existence of the human race. As a race we can use the internet to infinitely track everyone ever. Tattoos are permanent and forever, the same way that your involvement on the internet is. I've changed as a person over the past couple years so I believe the "tattoo" that I've gotten isn't an accurate representation of the person I am today and it's unfortunate that it is irreversible. Everyone need to remember to keep their digital identity in check at all times.

This video is very relatable to most teenagers nowadays. Most teens have many followers and talk to them and share their lives with them but they don’t interact in real lives. They only share the good parts of their lives because they don’t want to lose followers or "friends" because they talk about a real life topic that may be more sad than usual. He explains that the children are growing up with all this technology and it is harder than ever to make friends in real life because if you try to talk on a public transportation or in a public place then we are weird. Public places are now silent and there is no real life interaction. This generation is missing out on so many experiences because they are nose deep in their phone all day. There’s no real relationships, everyone meets online and social interactions are very rare.

Josselyn Ortiz

In the video, it shows how our generation are unsociable meaning instead of talking face to face we have technology. Technology is good in some ways but we need to communicate with the person in front of us. Its like we have technology right in the palms of our hands and we look down. We need to remind ourselves that having a conversation face to face helps us learn and understand how she/he really is. Instead of looking down at our phones let's look up at the real world in front of us. Our life is not based on whats on our hands. Technology is something that will never disappear but we can't let it control us . There are more things to do out there and to explore.

The term society has been derived from the Latin word ‘Socius’ which means a companion, association or fellowship. It is because man always lives in the company of his fellow beings. This led George Simmel to remark that sociability is the essence of society. The term society is understood in different sense. In our day today discussion society is used to refer to the members of specific in group for example-Advice Society, Harijan Society etc. some other time it refers to some institutions like Arya Samaj, Brahmo Samaj. At some other time society refers to an association like consumer’s society, co-operative society or cultural society. Society is also used in the sense of a group such as rural society or urban society.

As a race we can use the internet to infinitely track everyone ever. and it shows you everything that someone has did which is kinda creepy. and this video also shows me that everything is not mean to be put online because you never know what people my think of it. and that can negatively most of the time.i love how he used his rhymes to convey the message to look up from the phones and go interact with people to find happiness not a ROBOT. overall a good video i really enjoyed.

The video Look up talks about how in todays society no one really goes out to talk to people. Everyone is always on their phone or being incased by technology. As a society not many people are as socially interacting like they used too. Parents may not mind any attention to their kids if they just keep them busy with an ipad. Children may choose to stay inside than go outside.

The video "Look up" has taught me that I don't need a phone. Even thought technology isn't bad for us we do need a break. We do miss many things looking at our phones all day that's why I do agree with the video. We could have made friends with the people walking by us but we were too busy looking at our phones to notice. It's important to stay connected but not connected to your phones it's good to be connected to your family and friends sharing those memories with them when you get together again.

Although we do need them through certain circumstances, it would be an amazing idea to take a break from them once in a while to notice the real world. I believe us humans should try to connect with each other a lot more in person than we do over the internet. All in all, this video has taught me the lesson in life that by always looking down instead of keeping your head up, you are missing out on many great opportunities that could change your life.

I found everything he said in this video true. We no longer go out into the real world, and interact with each other. We fall victim to the screen. We are slaves to technology. I am also a slave because I don't go outside as much. Also the kids in my neighborhood don't come outside. Times are changing. Its no a good change so must adapt. So I think technology is going to take over.

This video was rather biased than proving a point. Instead of bashing the cellphone problem doesn't help nor will it make a difference, Stating that cellphones are a distraction is true but its up to you to be the one to put the effort in to concentrate and pay attention. No one can force you to do anything you force yourself to do these things.

Linda - Social Media

I do agreed with the video. Society have distance themselves form each other and rely on their phone to communicate with each other instead of face to face. By spending more time looking down at a phone you're missing time and memories with the one you love. Technology is taking over peoples life. A group chat of people that you don't know isn't going to make you happy forever. Unfortunately some rather be on their phones instead of living in the moment.

This video has showed me how society is so different now. Nowadays were stuck on our phones all today instead of going outside and actually doing something, instead of actually hanging out with friends and living life. We are throwing away our life's being attached to our phones. There are so many things in life we can enjoy instead of being in our phones. Social media has truly changed everyone.

Lietti Fernandez

2019-10-11 22:47:17 UTC

Personally, I found this video to be very true. I have seen the impact that phones have on our daily lives. Sometimes I find myself not paying attention to important things that happen because I am caught up on my phone. What was said about us thinking we have "friends" online, but in reality we are really lonely is also very accurate. We believe that because we talk to people a few times we can rely on them, but actually, in times of need its really hard to find trusted people.

Oscar Bello

We can discover a whole bigger world when we connect with people and talk to them face to face, it's a beautiful thing. People are stuck to their phone 24/7 and don't interact with people at all, which makes them become antisocial

Instead of living in the present and acknowledging our surroundings, today's society lives on social media. However, social media is an illusion, only showing the best parts of things rather than showing the whole truth, which leads to harm. This video has made me want to "look up" from my phone and tell everyone around me to appreciate each other rather than focusing so much on social media.

The video provided above helped me realize that people are spending more time than they should on their electronics. Social interaction has declined greatly since the invention of social media and online services. Electronic devices provide an "easy out" for people with shy tendencies and anxiety, giving them a crutch of an anonymous personality.

The video in question titled "Look up" showed me the errors in my ways in which describes and shows how the new generations are glued and entitled to their phones. The display has us trapped and we don't realize it until its too late when we figure out that we lost all our lives and communications from our species, our people, our friends thanks to a stupid invention. Our loved ones are priorities and very special and deserves to be treated like so, in conclusion social could be good but also addicting to the point of harm.

I've learned quite a few things from this clip. I have found a couple of points across the whole video that I consented with. This expands your perspective to how we've been changed by technological advances. This definitely showed me the communication skills of many individuals are not quite as developed due to social engagement consistency While technology isn't really all that bad, you should indeed know your limitations and whether tor not you need to take a break.I am among the people, too, and I blame myself from being on social media and also on my phone constantly. My primary objective I want to achieve might be to reduce my weekly online time, seeing as I'm an aspiring entertainer I sure do spend a lot of time on it. When you put your mobile device down, you understand that the world has plenty to provide on rather than social media.

The video look up showed me that looking away from technology for one moment and talk to someone can change your whole life. Its true of what he said now of days people barely get interactions with each other all they do is stay on their phone, ipad, t.v, gaming system. I think he is right we do need to change our ways and stop distancing ourselves from each other and just interact, have fun.

The video "look up" is truly one of the most eye opening videos i have ever soon. All the words he spoke were so true in every sense of the meanings. He touched a certain subject which people are too afraid to bring up cause they'll be seen as weird. He showed the missed opportunities that happen when we stay on our devices and never look up. This video shows me how mind controlled we've become by our devices. All of us guilty of at one point being sucked in to what were looking at that we don't even realize what's in front of us. This video showed me that i need to enjoy the world around me more often and stop being on my devices,.

Matthew Rophail - Social Media 1

The Impact that the video "Look Up" had on me was that it made me realize that our society spends far too much time using technology and not enough time being social with one another. The video made me realize that I should probably cut the other I spend on the internet and playing League Of Legends. Meeting up with friends in real life is a far more beneficial and productive way to pass time. The video always taught me that there are potentially hundreds of opportunities that can be missed if you don't stay off of social media/my phone. Sure the internet might help us connect with some friends, but that does'nt make anyone truly social and we should revert back to the social lives we lived before technology became this advanced and used.

This video shows us the horrible addiction that we teens have.We are not even concient about this problem and if we do we still don't care but we waste too much time on trivial activities.And what most of us don't realize is that we are wasting the most important phase in our lives were we define what we are going to be in the future this time defines us we are, what we do.Therefore from now on I will set my set myself for success only, and wont let any distraction control me.

I believe this video can really change my perspectives in things. Everything he said is very true. I find it hard to believe but I do it myself too. I agree with the things he said. Every day more and more people fall into this technology trap. Theirs no more talking or conversation in public its just everyone on their phones.

I found every claim made to be very true. I sometimes find it difficult to talk to friends at events or at parties. Mainly because we’re just so used to looking at a screen instead of taking in every moment we have with our friends and family. We’ve created technology and it will out live us but the moments that we miss due to our phones will never be taken back.

The term society has been derived from the Latin word "Socius" which means a companion, association or fellowship. It is because man always lives in the company of his fellow beings. This led George Simmel to remark that sociability is the essence of society. It is understood in different sense today. Today, it is used to refer to those memebers of a specific group for example Hanjan Society, Advice Society. Other times it can can mean institutions, such as; Arya Samaj. At some other time, it can even associate to consumer's society, co

The video shows how today's society is stuck to their phone. People nowadays are always on their phone and never paying attention to everything around them. Back then kids used to interact with each other in social/physical activities, but now they're playing video games or watching videos for hours.Parents don't even encourage their kids to go out and play, now they give them a phone, ipad, computer, or turn on the tv just to keep them busy. Kids might even prefer to stay inside playing on a computer than go outside and play with actual people, because that's the social norm now that technology has advanced. The video shows you how life is. This video has shown me that i need to take more time doing things other than being stuck to my screen.

Carlos Vargas - Social Media

carloslstar100 — 2019-10-23 13:43:32 UTC

I completely agree with his message, social media can be great in keeping in touch with people you don't see all the time and still want to be a part of their lives. Everything though has to be in moderation, because too much of one thing can be bad and have deadly consequences.Not only this, but some experiences cannot happen while staring at a screen.

Halle Dor - Social Media

2019-10-23 15:03:04 UTC

The video to me made me realize as teenagers we spend to much time thinking about what people think about us and what people are doing in there lives. Instead of paying attention to whats more important around us. In the video one of the thing that pointed out to me is that opportunities can be missed due to not paying attention to what important or given it not much of thought. Though the internet is quite a valuable resource it can be quite time consuming. It can affect us and people around us. Causes situations that probably could have been prevented if we choose to give the time to listen or care.

Peyton Anderson - Peer Counseling

2019-10-23 15:10:06 UTC

This video is very important to our society today because most people, kids and adults included, are becoming more and attracted to social media. The video is showing us how social media can take away important opportunities that we missed and how that can affect us a people. We should take the time away from our phones, or social media in general, to spend time with people we love face to face, before we never get the chance to. We are getting locked in a screen everyday allowing life to pass us without us knowing.

He taught me that there are potentially hundreds of opportunities that can be missed if you don't stay away from social networks / my phone. Of course, the Internet could help us connect with some friends.

After watching the video "Look Up!" by Gary Turk, I had a moment of self reflection upon myself. At one point in my life I would arrive home from school and have my eyes hooked into my cellular device until 2am in the morning. I would often have pounds of work on my plate that needed to be completed that very next day and would hold it off for "just one more video" which was only a hyperbole. I ended up being very stressed and would receive a very small amount of sleep everyday. I became addicted to social media and I really needed to "Look Up". Gary Turk stated in his video that "we're slaved to the technology we mastered". This very bad habit of mine has improved tremendously since I am not on my phone as much. I was well aware that technology was holding me back from doing the things that I'm actually well skilled at.Gary's poetic words really brought me back to a time where I was a phone addict and I realized that I'm once again repeating these bad habits. Social media is not our friend and like Gary said in the video, was a delusion. Teens often become depressed because of social media since they binge what they wish their life was like. Once they finally get off of it an see the reality, it makes them depressed. Iv'e learned that it's better to engage with the real wold that virtual reality. What stood out to me in the video was that when you finally engage in the real world, you can pursue real goals and meet really good friends.

This video has showed me that being on your phone all the time renders negative consequences. You miss things that happen every day and you don't acknowledge them because you don't notice them. From now on i will try to be n my phone less often so that i can pay attention to everyday events.

Diana (Social Media 1)

My thoughts about the video are that basically it show us how we be on the internet to much then we are active in our life. It is important to us that we spend time with family because, they are way more important then the internet. Spending time on internet is really time consuming and cause us to miss so much important stuff or things in our lives. In my opinion, I really think that spending to much time online or in the internet is not worth spending time with family.

Ted Luxana Social Media 1

This video emphasized the idea that phones and technology are drifting us farther apart. That people spend more time on their device than they do interacting with other. Though smartphones can be useful many people abuse the privilege of having such an invention. The video is more or less declaring that there is more to life then what is on a screen, and that our devices are more of a distraction. I do agree with this idea, and believe that people should use phones less. They should interact more and experience more things that life has to offer.

The video made me realized that we the people have become addicted to Social Media/The Internet. We need to pay more attention to what is happening around us and be more interactive with the real world and or family and friends. we care to much about what is going in other peoples lives we need to focus on our own lives and find out who were are and what we what to do.

As a teen of this particular decade I can agree that even I use social media too much. Thie video helped me realize this. Talking to people and interacting with people in person is far more important and beneficial for us humans, especially considering we are social creatures than hiding away on electronics. There are so many opportunities that I miss every day do to being distracted on the internet. I am now going to try to spend more time offline and more time with the people I love.

Matthew Cochrane

This video drove home the negative affects of technology.
My opinion is that if you rely on video games, phones, and computers too much for social interactions it becomes harmful.
It takes away from the connections you could be having with people by isolating you. It hinders you socially and emotionally because you can start comparing yourself to others. I feel that in moderation it is not harming anyone but it is very easy to cross the line.

The video "look up" has shown that teens are sucked into electronics instead of living their real life. He talks about people showing the best bits and leaving out the emotion. I tend to do that but because not everyone needs to know everything. He also talked about a man falling in love and creating a beautiful life together with a woman he met that wouldn't have happened if the guy was on his phone. I am now aware of the things that can happen once your'e on your phone. It makes me feel better because I know that when I am with friends, family or with anyone, I am not on my phone unless I need to call my parents or check something. I am glad that I watched this video because it has opened my eyes to the sad truth.

We often sit in front of a phone or computer screen. We never take time to look up to see what is really going on aroundus. Once upon of time there was nothing but the TV screen that we often look away from. In today scoiety we need to look up ans step away from phone and computer screens. It's more to society than staring at a screen. Look up, now!

Chloe Cassel

2020-01-06 23:38:58 UTC

The video showed me that being on my phone all the time is making me miss out on what all is going on around me. My phone keeps me isolated from making friends and fully paying attention. Even at concerts I am on my phone taking pictures and videos to post on social media. I want to try and be more present. This also shows me how even though we are more technologicially advanced, I am not so sure it is always a good thing.

The things he spoke upon in the video I find to be very accurate . Especially us teens we are very distracted by our phones . Our generation is technology driven , technology can take you away from special times with your family and friends . I myself use my phone too much but i'm learning to cut my screen time down day by day and to enjoy life and live in the moment . This video taught me to appreciate life more and go out and do things because you only live once .

2020-01-14 19:34:50 UTC

This video really got me thinking, about how everyone is on there phone every 2 seconds, less active then other generations without smartphones, its in my opinion an addiction that most people now have. You can have tons of followers or friends on whatever platform you may use, but in reality most of those people are lonely and most likely depressed. In the prior generations people would interact and play sports, now more people are uncomfortable to even talk to people face to face and its also creating a lazier generation or not as active giving younger kids health issues and not a real childhood experience.

This video was very inspiring to me because it talks about hw you should live your life. Everything about what the guy said is true, we use social media as a friend and every time we use it, we pretend than our friend are present with us. Social media uses us as robots that do the same routine every day. Instead of using it, you should go out and spend time with your friends. Go out and enjoy the world and life.

i belived this video should be seen by more people so we can come to a full interpretation and understanding of this video and we sjould see that it almost becomes eye openin.

I agree with everything he was saying. Our genteration are so consumed but phones, and we just don't take a moment to appericate everything that is going on around us. We shouldn't be worrying about our followers, we should become a leader and change our ways. Education wise thew internet does help us, but we just get consumed over the likes, comments and the new trends that we don't focus anything around us. We need to put our phones down and take a moment to look around. There was a time before phones, there are many things we can do.

Eric Vega - Social Media 1

2020-02-21 04:14:27 UTC

This video practically states the facts of today's generation. We are all connected to technology in so many ways. It takes away our time from being with friends or family, being social. We are no longer playing at the park, swinging on swings, playing hopscotch, or even just going for a walk. We depend on social media to be social but it is not the same as being face to face with someone. We need to put away our phones, tablets, and even computers and be more out there in the world. We are always "looking down" on our screens and never "look up" to society. We keep distancing ourselves because we are afraid of what will happen. It is important we do not lose ourselves in the process and to stop looking down and to look up.

this video is very uneven and made me increasingly distraught at that point upset, it just spotlights on the terrible side of PDAs and innovation. There are an enormous measures of advantages. This video doesn't affect me at all since I know the two sides and thinks it isn't right to show just one side. Innovation has changed the world totally, kids despite everything play outside and individuals do at present talk. By and by I am outside continually, meeting new individuals, conversing with new individuals. This video is very one-sided.

This video showed me that now and days we are all distracted on our phones and we depend on them for everything. We don't even realize what's going on in the real world or how it actually looks because we ask our phones for news. I believe we should try to connect with each other more without using our phones, just face to face. The lesson I learned from this video is that you should look up to see what's really going on around you because you are really missing out.

Being closed up in a room looking at instagram at people with their friends, etc. Yes, I am guilty of all of these when i look at my self in the mirror. I Prefer being in my room on my phone but, I know I'm wasting time. The few times that i do "look up" i have the time of my life whether it is with my friends or with my family.

This video rang look has had an effect on me. I understood not all things revolve around my telephone. To truly associate with individuals I need to "gaze upward" off my telephone and collaborate. There's no motivation to be on our telephones as much as we may be. Particularly via web-based networking media since it goes about as deception of what we ought to be. It shows all the satisfaction yet never the feeling. That is the reason I need to fire turning upward off my telephone and getting a charge out of everything around me. Web-based life and the utilization of my telephone, all in all, must decrease on the grounds that my telephone is expending my life. In the wake of watching this video, how I approach my everyday schedule and life will change until the end of time.

This video has had a great impact on me because it has opened my eyes. Everything he was saying was correct, he made good points on why we should put the phones and technology down and talk to one another face to face with all of our attention. This video made me realize that we really are the robots because we lean so much into our phones and technology that we are lost. We are really truly lost we try so hard to look the part that social media wants us to look that we don’t even know if it’s making us happy or not, a person will change their whole personality or the way they looked due to keep up with their social media image. We have to take in our surroundings and make the most of today. If you are feeling lonely don’t even pick up that phone go outside and interact with the outside world face to face. This lesson has taught me that the world doesn’t revolve in our phones go out and seek the nature and people that we have and give them 100% of our attention.

Social Media- Gemara Alexis

2020-04-16 15:37:31 UTC

This video has changed my perspective a whole lot because it has opened my eyes a lot. It has made me see how much we have turned into robots. Our generation relies solely on the technology surrounding us and we are so stuck up on what social media will think of us if we do stuff a certain way or how we do it. We can’t even have a real heart to heart conversation face to face without looking at our social media pages and seeing what the next top thing is. Nothing is the same, instead of being trapped on a phone we should be out looking for different outdoor activities to do and enjoy with our friends and families. What’s going on a phone screen shouldn’t dictate how we are living our lives. The children of this generation see their parents being attached to their screens so they adapt in the same way. We should be taking in your surroundings and make the most of today. If you feel you are alone put your phone down and go out and communicate with someone and if you don’t you may pass off the opportunities of meeting a new friend and maybe even a future husband and or wife. Put your phones down it’s taking over our lives.

This video is very factual and has a lot of meaning I understand. Our generation now consist of strictly technology, whenever I hang out with my friends we are all mostly on our phones instead of communicating or playing outside. Even in restaurants you go out and kids are watching videos or playing on phones instead of talking to their families.

2020-04-27 22:57:52 UTC

The video was very explicit about how social media has taken over our lives. The statement that stood out was that was we have social media but we do not socialize. We lure our selves into this machine of feeling good but that’s all we show to others. Technology has taken over our lives such as our friends. We may have many friends but how many do we tell how our day went? When we cannot rely on them it is just a facade of a lifestyle. Nowadays to keep a child calm their parents hand them an ipad or phone. This idea of social media and technology has taken over our lives and it is up to us to make a change.

Social media does really take a chunk out of my day but it doesn't necessarily stop me from being social. People nowadays just have to better their time management.They miss the opportunity to meet new people and add happiness to their life all cause they are too busy on their phone.

Everything that the video said seemed to be true as I thought about it. A lot of people miss so many opportunities in life due to fact that they are looking at their phone or some type of screen. Life is too short to be missed because of a screen. We need to make it a priority to enjoy our lives and stop caring so much about everything online rather than in person. I am going to try to notice every time I am on my phone when I could be spending time with a loved one and change that.

msl4880 — 2020-05-29 02:17:53 UTC

Interpreting this video, I connected factors observed not only in my typical life but that of other. An Agnologment of our distance from the outside world and our own best interests, in order to fulfill artificial achievements. Although I can't blame some people for their attachment to technology, some areas of employment require you to be in constant contact with your employer and fellow workers even during your days off, there are some countries in Europe if I remember that provide laws that protect employees from such ( I could be wrong or be remembering outdated information). In Addition, personally I am someone who chat servers and industry art videos, so for a while I would consider myself distinct from others (in a selfish kind of manner), when they would be creating videos of random things from popular media or actions that would call attention to themselves, I thought I was above such. Above from the artificiality of their shared group mentality, but realizing now, my desires can be just as meaningless if I devote all my waking hours to it. Even if art is considered a "creative medium", Animation books include titles like "Drawn to Life" or "The Illusion of Life". How is someone supposed to create an experience for people's lives without living your own, what would you draw from?

Tomas Cujar- Social Media 1

The video ''Look up'' has showed me that time is what you make of it. the man could have asked for help, or he could've just stayed there glued to his phone. But, to us this is today's normal. There was some subjects he talked about that shook me, instead on being on our phones we can make decisions, what was displayed in that video was just facts. The sad reality is, that nobody really sees it as a problem, and that just explains how far society has sunk. A time traveler from, 50 years ago, would see our society as a ghost town.

Micah Cleveland-Social Media. I spend most of my time on my phone using social media, playing video games, or watching movies. I often check my phone for notifications. I realize that majority of my time is spent n my room. My parents would always fuss that I do not go outside. The video has helped me see my parent's point of view. I really need to be more active and spend more time getting my priorities in order as they would say. Social media and video games are addicting, so it is essential to make sure you are taking time away.

As a community we are not connected. its almost as if we are dead. We don't interact with each other and the younger generation is glued to something whether its a phone, tablet or computer. We are growing up dependent on social media.
This video shows me how as a person social media and technology has an impact on me. It shows me that there needs to be some change coming because social media it taking over negatively .

This video really opened up my eyes because this generation of people all of us spend time on a screen and talk to each other on a screen instead of being with each other. We rather play video games with each other than go outside and play a sport or we spend to much time looking down on a screen when we could be using that time and enjoying the real world. We can be missing big opportunities because we are staring at a screen. We have to stop looking down at start looking up.

The video "Look up" has reminded me of myself a bit due to the fact I refer to social media to make friends. It shows me that I need to step back from social media and look at social media in a different prescriptive. We also need to see that social media isn't always as it seems and we need time to step back and take a different look at social media and see social media for what it actually is as a toxic environment. Which means we need to take a break from electronics and social media. Breaks from social media can be very helpful with mental health and also to view life differently.

This video shows us the reality of our generation today where everyone is on there phones slowly missing an important and fun piece of life. It explains how much technology has changed over the past years. Its important to look back at the things we appreciate more in life and just lay of technology because it's a different and more real view of the world. My perspective has changed and makes me want to go outside and experience what i was missing when using distractions like phones. It can distract you from your main focus that can go into your future and can possibly affect your career. Overall, This is something that we should keep in mind so we can live life with no distractions.

Nivek Correa- social media

2020-09-16 17:42:22 UTC

The video "look up" gives us a reality check. We have made the way of everyday life so different. I remember when I would go outside and play with my friends and now the way we hang out is everyone on their phones. We focus so much what's on our screen and not what's in front of us . We no longer communicate with each other our generation has become so antisocial because we lost the way to dialogue with people in person. People need to put down the phone and start living again.

This video showed me that everyone spends so much time online that we don't get to enjoy the moments we have in the outside world. It was wakeup call that tells me that i need to take a break from social media. I need to spend more time with every face to face and not online. Sometimes being on social media can be really toxic and really bad for our mental health. It made me realize we need to be more focus and involved in the outside world.

Owning a piece of technology isn't terrible or horrible. It's different if you're addicted. People love to look at their screens and they look at them long enough to miss the important things in life. We miss the little moments and it's those moments that we want to remember. We need to realize that not everything takes place on a screen. We need to look up and interact and speak to each other. We need to be social with everyone. At the end of the day, We need to be more aware of people and be socially active with others. We can take a break from social media, it's not that hard.

social media has a really big impact on this society. Many people lives revolve around their phone. everyday life is different and many people find it hard to socialize in person and can only do it over the media. i find this really sad you will miss out in the good parts in life and avoid opening up to new opportunities because always being stuck on your phone.

Lucas Guadamuz - Social Media

All of us are surrounded by the social, emotional and mental trappings of social media. It locks us into a jailed mindset that we must constantly attend to it, like a pet that needs feeding. Society has molded us into judging one's worth on number of followers or amount of clicks. These numbers diminish the importance of human contact and expiriences ones that if I continue to blindly stare at my screen of imprisonment I can only imagine all the little things I'm missing in life, the things worth appreciating, it's freeing to liberate myself from such a limiting lifestyle, but truthfully I've only felt this way because I've been on the screens so much in my life, reminicing and regretting all the things I've missed and forgotten but remembereing to stay hopeful and wary on the moments to come.

Social media has become something that is normal in this generation. It give people the chance to connect with other across the world or even just a couple of hours away, but it can also limit people and make them depend on technology to much and have their whole life around it for ex. most teens use it to show people there life most of the time only their high points. It all depends on the person if they are enslaved my technology or if they want to explore the world and only use technology when they need to like for emergencies.

This video showed me how many opportunities we miss in life because were so used to just looking down at this small piece of technology that holds what we think is everything you'll ever need, but it doesn't hold everything we need, what about human interaction. Your phone can't give you a hug when you most need it, it can't give you the support that we as humans need to get through the day. Were becoming robots, addicted to staring at a screen, a screen that does nothing for you. To us its normal nobody sees anything wrong with it and that's the problem, that's how much social media has effected our society.

Jose Fernandez - Social Media

2020-10-12 13:12:13 UTC

This video showed me the truth behind this generation and our phones. We are being controlled by the technology we have in our hands. We spend our entire day either sitting behind or phones, computers or our TVs without having any real interactions. We use our phones as a safe space when we feel uncomfortable and this is creating a problem. This makes people uncomfortable around real life interactions and that makes gets our generation further apart from one another. This generation has to put the phone down and start making real connections, not just the ones over the internet.

Eduardo Fernandez - Social Media

2020-10-12 17:47:07 UTC

This video has such an impact if you actually pay attention to what the man is saying. The words he uses to describe our generation, has made me look at life a different way. People are so obsessed with their phones and social media that they don't realize all the opportunities that they are missing and the chances that are slipping away. People need to stop this obsession and try to look at life a different way. This video has impacted me so much and it is making me want to change my whole lifestyle. I love this video so much and people need to see this. Social Media might be becoming a threat in society not in a harmful way, but in a way where the world might not be as connected as it was before.

Brandon Lopez. Social Media 1

2020-10-13 13:49:40 UTC

I agree with most of the points made in this video. Technology is both a gift and a shackle that humanity has placed upon themselves. We have the ability to interact with thousands of people a day; gazing into their lives through digital windows they selectively open and allow you to see through. This gives us the illusion that we know them; what they like, their dislikes, etc. However, this is only true up to an extent. We only know what they decide to show us, not what they choose to hide. There is an old Japanese quote that can be directly interpreted to this very problem: "You have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends, and your family. The third face, you never show anyone." The pictures, status updates, and such are all what i would like to call, people's first face. This is the face they decide to show to the world. However, there are sadly, times in which people actually mistake this artificial personality as their very own.

Kristina Moreno - social media 1

I really agree with all the points the video brought up. technology is honestly a blessing and a curse, especially when it comes to social media. i feel as though people nowadays start to become obsessed with their image online and forget that they live in the real world. when you begin to disconnect from the real world you start to fall into a delusion. Personally I have missed so many opportunities in real life because I was living on my phone. I have so many good moments i've lived and i did not live them to my fullest potential because i was staring at my phone the whole time. People truly should start to put their phone down and start truly living in the real world, i really do believe they will be happier, including me.

Dylan Howell- Social Media 1

I totaly agree with everything said in this video. Technology is something that helps us tremendously and also hurts us especially when it comes to social media. Social media takes us away from real time conversations. For example when a group of friends are all together they are all on there phones and social media rather than have a real conversation with eachother. Sometimes we become obsessed with our online image to a point where they forget that a real world is still out there. Back when I was younger I would be outside with my friends at the park or playing football in the field, but now we sit and get sucked into the social media world.

I believe the many things this video showed was a way to alert people of what could happen if we all became reliable on technology, especially our phones. It impacted me in a way that shows me how much of life I can miss if I'm just focused on using my phone at all times. I believe that we miss many opportunities to meet new people and discover new things only because we were paying attention to our devices and not our surroundings.

Mia Ferro- social media

2020-10-16 13:58:13 UTC

This video just summarized our generation. Everything he said is the sad truth. We spend so much time looking down at our screen that we miss the greatest opportunities in life. Yea its called social media but we are losing the social in real life. I find it pretty ironic that people tell kids to look up from there screens but are now we are being forced to look down at one for hours to be "taught virtually" if anything schools taking away the time kids interact and learn to socialize, Its sad. If there's something I take from this video is that we are only here for a limited time. Instead of seeing a beautiful picture through the screen go out and experience it yourself. I don't know about everyone else but I choose to look up and live.

Ted Luxana Social Medial

This video talks about how social media has done nothing less but devour our lives. We lack true human connection and miss out on many opportunities because of our devices. It mentioned how children rarely go outside to play anymore and would much rather stay indoors on their devices. I think people should interact more in person than on their phones.

Gabriel Rodriguez

2020-10-16 14:12:13 UTC

This video has showed me that we basically live our life through our phones. As well as that we may miss out on special moments with friends and or family because we chose to be on our phones more then talking to the people we love. I learned that I should put my phone down more and actually live in the moment and not live in someone else moment on my phone. This video has taught me that I take things for granted and how little time we have to be wasting it staring at a inch screen

Ian Arrocha - Social Media

2020-10-16 17:01:43 UTC

This video shows how the life we think live is not what it seems, how all the friends we have are not really there, all the moments we share online have no real feel in them because we are not sharing them with the people that care, is just an illusion the feeling of being accepted because no one is really there, and we are missing life by always being on our phone no enjoying the beauty of the world.

Melany Valdes- Social Media

2020-10-16 19:02:58 UTC

This video showed me how everyone is so attached to their phones including myself. And because of this we miss out on some of life's most valuable moments. This video definitely left me thinking if I even have real friends because we only communicate through social media because were all to lazy to go out and do something productive that doesn't involve our phones. Social Media is one big illusion we care more about getting a certain amount of likes or comments on an Instagram post than the grade we got on a test. This video was very eye opening to me because I realized how I'm missing out on so many things because I never want to leave my room to go outside or even have a real conversation face to face with someone.

The video "Look Up" by Gary Turk showed me that our generation has been taken over by social media. By explaining how our entire lives revolve around social media. Which by nature makes us very antisocial when it comes to even just saying hello to someone walking by. Which causes us to miss many important things that we could do in person. However, people would rather choose to be inside there homes on social media all day. All in all this video tells us about how our generation is being ruined by the over usage of technology and social media.

Eimir Perez - Social Media

This video taught me many different things and I believed it has impacted people all over the world. He talk about how many things we are missing out on life by being on social media and on our phones all day. He talked about looking up when you are outside and being social, instead of staring down at you phone. There are many opportunities to make friends or have a good time by socializing and living life. Our generation is consumed by social media and technology and its causing us to miss out on life's best moments. This was a very impactful and eye opening video.

Sophia Belanger - Social Media

This video showed me that technology has come as a big part. He explains how you could be talking to others in the same room or outside playing with other kids. There are things you could be seeing or doing. Today we use these device's all the time. The video explains how it distracts you from the world or talking to people, having different opportunities. To stop looking down at the phone and look at what you could be missing and talk to others without anything distractions. In what not looking at a phone may do. Also the fun stuff.

David Ranney- Social Media I

2020-12-04 23:33:39 UTC

This video is so powerful in its message on the danger of being caught up on our devices. It shows how we get so distracted by our screens, that we miss the most impactful and wonderful times of our lives just to snap that perfect picture or share it with others, many of whom we don't even know. This video really made me think about my life and how much time I spent online instead of out with friends and family who I can talk to and live. It made me reflect on the times where I was so busy on my phone during a gathering, to the point where when I would look up I would feel sad on missing so much of what had happened. I hope to change and live life in the moment rather than spending it watching a screen and this video had helped me do so. Thank you.

Ryan bordenave- social media

I found this video to be very inspirational, like for somebody like me who is always attached to his phone constantly i never tried taking the time out of my life to look away from my phone and try to enjoy the world from a different perspective. I don't wanna be that one father or grandfather whos kids/grandkids have to come and ask how was life back then for me and i tell them i never enjoyed life because i was attached to my phone

This video has showed me just how distracted we are as a generation. Also how looking at a screen will never feel as amazing as talking to someone. this video has personally made me reflect on how beautiful life can be if we are not staring at a light all day and how you can miss the little things that make life so genuine and unique. After watching this video I will make sure to catch myself if I am ever looking at my phone too much. Overall I feel like this video will definitely impact the way I view my life from now on.

This video has a very good point. It explained how we'd be stuck on our devices without enjoying the actual reality. I realized that many people have lost the world that is around them. Gary Turk also showed how most of our world does not care about what it's like to wake up and be in the environment made for us. I think that I should convince my parents to go out more and explore our big land.

I’ve come to a realization after watching this video that Mainly everything he said was true. It shows how technology is ruining the society. And this video shows me that I am on my phone almost every hour of the day and I relate to a lot of the things that he was pointing out. From being on my phone all the time I’ve Realized that I have been distancing myself from other social contact due to having technology. This new society is overusing the new technology way to much and it shows in the decrease of social skills. This video teaches me that you should go explore the world meet new people make new friends there is more to do then just using technology.

2021-01-12 15:41:55 UTC

I agree with mainly every point he made in this video. Our generation uses technology to much it really affects people social skills. I have realized from watching this video I fall into this category as well. For almost every hour of the day I am on my phone or some type of technology. I sometime distance myself from people and this is due to me overusing technology and I see that there needs to be a change. This video shows me that there is lots more things to do then just staying inside and using technology all day. When I can go out and explore different places meet new people and find new friends. This video just change my perspective on life. I will definitely be trying to use my phone less interact with different people and just explore different things.

David Bornstein - social media

dborn001 — 2021-01-29 13:43:55 UTC

I agree with how the video was made and he feels lonely even though he has many followers. That just goes to show how social media can paint a image you have plenty of friends when you can barely even know anyone. Social media creates a false persona of your life. He talks about how everyone is addicted to their phone which is true and it’s sad.the use of using technology too much is having a big impact on being social for people and it’s upsetting. People are hooked on their phones

2021-02-02 15:58:42 UTC

This video is really accurate. Alot of people including me are on there phones 247. Who knows what there doing on there phones, could be cyberbullying, or could be just scrolling through social media. This video taught me that i need to go out more and make more friends and meet new people.

Technology has changed society, and keeps changing society more and more. After watching this video, I have come to the realization that to us, it might look normal to constantly see everyone on their phones. I have to say I am also like the people on the video. I am constantly on technology and have no self control. This new era, and society is not being taught correctly. We miss so much experiences and so much of the real life, because of all the technology. The new way to keep in contact with people is by social media, and technology. Which greatly increases the amount of cyberbullying. This video has opened up my eyes and showed how negatively technology is impacting our everyday life.

Angeline Gonzalez - Social Media 1.

2021-02-23 15:39:14 UTC

This video is a great example of how society has changed over the years with technology. As more social media platforms are created, more and more people are spending time looking at screens and not paying attention to what's happening in the real world. As a teenager in this generation, I can agree that technology has changed me in many ways, good and bad. We have to start getting off our screens and start living in the moment because we only live once and we never know when it will be our last moment. We are wasting our time and ruining ourselves with the internet. For example, meeting people on the internet can be good because you can make new friends, but it can be dangerous because you never really know who you are talking to.

I think this video is quite accurate. Many people no longer go outside and cherish the world without the internet or social media. People now look at social media to figure things out about the world instead of going out and finding out for themselves. People rely too much on technology and media rather than learning and checking things out themselves. People find it hard to do things without phones and need to learn to survive without always looking at technology for help.

Francisco alvarado

2021-03-22 14:07:21 UTC

Well of course I can agree with this. Its very clear that we would be missing most of are lives only because were to concerned about "chelseys new post". Its very sad. The fact that we have all this time just staring at a box says a lot about how we run things here in America or anywhere else with advanced technology like ours. But this video made it very deep and really was touching. I loved how they showed a lot of the mans life and it was genuinely happy. no phone no nothing. Just his wife who made leaving worth it.

Cameron Diljohn- Social Media 1

2021-04-05 19:31:37 UTC

The video talks about how life has changed due to its relationship with technology. I agree with everything the video explained and how it needs to change. People are always on their phone or some electronical device and that "norm" is being introduced to future generations. The biggest impact the video had on me was the effects of always being on an electronic. You could miss a lot in life by just focusing on a phone or tablet all the time. There definitely needs to be a change on this and the majority of people need to look up.

This video has shown to me that we live our lives mainly through our phones. This day in age we do everything through social media and it can be damaging to our mental health. We must be able to understand when it is necessary to disconnect from social media. It's important to communicate with people online, but it's also vital to connect with those who are right in front of you. Your mind will thank you if you take a break from social media.

This video has made me realize all the things in life we could be missing. Our lives are just passing by us and we’re glued to our phones. Not enjoying anything. We have hundreds of followers but not really any real friends. It’s true how he said the parks are empty and you rarely see kids outside playing. They’re all inside watching YouTube videos or crying because their iPad isn’t charging. It’s crazy to think that this is the future. Hopefully people realize this sooner than later.

Ashley - Social Media

2021-04-14 21:51:17 UTC

This video shows that we are constantly consumed by a digital screen. We talk to others but we never have a real conversation if we don’t get off our phones. As teenagers we are so dependent on technology to communicate that when we finally put down our phones we feel weird or like we’re missing something that isn’t important. We should be living out out lives in person instead of worrying what some random person online thinks about our post. As teens we miss opportunities to grow as an individual by being locked in on our screens for entertainment. This video made me realize that I don’t have a real connection with my family because of my phone and hardly know my “friends”.

The video really opened my eyes. Because it has opened my eyes, this video has had a significant impact on me. Everything he said was right, and he made some important arguments about why we should put down our phones and technology and talk to one other face to face with our full attention. This video convinced me that we are all robots because we are so engrossed in our phones and technology that we are completely lost. We are absolutely lost; we strive so hard to seem the way social media wants us to look that we don't even know whether it's making us happy. To keep up with their social media image, a person will change their entire personality or the way they look. We must take in our surroundings and make the most of the present moment.

Valen Morales- Social media

I agree with the video. It really tells you how social media has changed us. In my opinion, it is not bad to be on social media like 15 minutes would be good, but when you start spending to much time on it, you start to get overwhelmed and depressed. This video really made you think on how social media really is not social and that it is just tearing us apart and making us not spend time with each other physically.

Noemi Scheinkman- Social Media 1

2021-10-20 14:10:48 UTC

We use social media and spend hours liking each 400 friends post, instead of doing something productive like exercising, reading a book, paint, etc. Social media isn't reality it's illusion. An illusion where people show off, edit photos, photoshop places. Social media is the opposite of social, it's where you promote yourself. This video had made me think and see that social media is fake. And how people are distancing each other because of it. We are becoming antisocial, places like the parks are empty because kids rather be playing video games. Time flies by so fast and we don't even realize it, and when you look back you wish you could have spend more time with family and friends that are now gone. We should look up from the screen and enjoy the time because the time won't be here forever.

This video has made so many points, In terms of making me realize how much time we actually spend on technology. We almost feel like we cant live without it. Technology makes such a huge impact on humanity. No matter how young or old, we all end up getting affected by technology. The video has made me “open my eyes” and really understand whats in front of me. If we were to just take a walk outside with no technology, there are so many things that we could do or see. Many of us have trouble speaking to people in person, which is why we rely on social media. Its time for us to go outside and get out of our comfort zone. Look up!

Alina Pietko- Social Media

2022-07-04 16:41:36 UTC

This video made me realize how much life is worth without the consistent need of technology. We miss out on great opportunities and socialization when we have our heads stuck in our phones. We think it’s important to be on social media or be on our phones but the reality is, we are loosing our social skills and giving in to technologies traps. This means something to me because I have caught myself doing the exact same thing. I wasn’t living in the moment and I should have because we have one life and one opportunity to do great things. On your phone you won’t be able to accomplish life’s greatest achievements or create relationships that make up your life. Everyday I put my phone away for 3 hours and I enjoy the silence and live in that moment. We all must learn to put away the technology and live in our beautiful lives. We only have one.

The video can relate with many people. Some people can't make friends face to face but online. People get consumed with social media trying to make everything perfect. Technology or social media makes it feel like someone is there, when most times no one is. Social media has changed people. Before people would go outside and play games. Now people can play a game online about going outside. With social media people miss so many things. The man in the video didn't let social media change their life too much. But yes, I agree with the video.

Zachary Shield - Social media 1

2022-10-28 13:07:52 UTC

The look up video discussed how social media affects our daily life. In my life I try to stay off my phone as much as possible, one thing that has helped me is that my school has a rule where we have to put our phones up in a phone jail before we go skate and eat lunch. This causes us to be much more social at lunch. If we all had our phones, we would barely talk to each other. Although it is a problem that if we had our phones we wouldn’t talk. It is sad that social media has such a impact on young peoples lives that they feel empty without it. People my age and myself included need to start spending more time doing things other than being on our phone such as reading and working out.

This video opened my mind. We get lost in this virtual world. All day in our rooms watching YouTube. We miss out on the world around us .The nature. Our friends and family. Don’t worry about that girl at the beach on Instagram. Or that group of girls having a blast. Just imagine how much you could be doing if you aren’t watching them on your phone. There’s so much to do you just have to explore. Take a break from your phone trust me it’s great. Try to get social not on social media.

Nothing says 21st century like social media, you practically can't escape from it. So when I saw this video, it enlightened me and made me aware of the effects that might happen with the excessive use of social media. Even though this video is short, it is very powerful; it delivers a strong message that leaves me thinking. Due to this video, I will now limit my time on social media and spend more time outdoors. Limiting the effect on social media, I feel, will make me a better, more social person.

This video made me realize how important life really is with out electronics and technology. Without technology life would be more adventurest, and fun with your friends. You would no be worried about the notifications on your phone but worried about whos it in tag. The fun you have with your friends outdoors should last forever and not be interupted by a call or text on your phone. Friendships last forever but your phone always runs out of battery. I've experienced this by being stuck to my phone and have lost friends because I thought that my phone was more important than the people around me.

After I watched this video I realized just how much I actually miss while looking down at my phone. I am now going to start trying to spend more time with my family. The less I worry about what my friends are doing on social media the more time I can spend with others in person. I agree with this video, it opens our eyes and shows us just how much time we waste staring at a screen. I am also going to share this video with some of my friends because I know that once they see it they will also use there phone less. The less I use my phone the more opportunities I might find. My mind will thank me for using social media and my phone less.

It made me question all the “what if’s” if I hadn’t been looking at my phone or iPad, would my life be different? Would I meet someone new? Without looking at our devices 24/7 our mind would be more prone to the world and the people that surround it.Seeing the man put down his phone for a second and live his life to the fullest showed me that I don’t need to check my notifications every second, but seeing him be hyper focused on his phone and seeing the love of his life passed him by made me sad and angry. The video showed me that all I need to do is put down my devices and live in the moment.

This video has opened up my eyes to what is actually happening in society today, and how I haven't been realizing it simply because I am one of the people being glued to my phone. All the situations where I sit in a room for hours and yet don't make eye contact with anyone. This taught me that life is so much more than liking silly Instagram post, and checking constantly how many new followers I have. Life without cellphones can bring so much more joy, happiness, new memories, and bring so much more life to be lived. It makes me wonder if I were to look at social media and devices differently then, how much more of my life would be different right now? I would never know, simply because I was on my devices. Overall, this video showed me how much life would be different, and more joyful if I was not so worried about my phone and social media. Spreading this voice and thoughts will hopefully inspire others to do so. So that we all can live in the moment and live life to the fullest.

This video is a good way for those to see how much the media has impacted our lives. I completely agree that our devices now have so much control over our lives and prevent us from truly appreciating each moment we have. Also, this video was made nine years ago, so it is safe to assume that with advancements in technology, we are becoming increasingly more reliable on our phones. I do think that in the world we live in, it is hard to suggest that we steer away from using our devices that much especially because some people rely on apps like TikTok and YouTube to even make a living, but it goes without saying that it is a sad fact we are constantly on our devices and not enjoying what is happening in the present. As much as our devices have been beneficial to us by allowing us to communicate with the world in ways we could have only imagined before, too much of something is never good, and too much of our phones is disassociating us with society.

I have to agree and disagree with this video. Social media can definitely feel lonely sometimes. When you look up and realize that you're all alone in a room staring at your phone, the reality of it hits you hard. You could've spent that time playing a game with your family or doing something productive. There's so much life to be lived. On the other hand, sometimes social media can be used to actually socialize. As a matter of fact, the whole reason the Internet was created was for an emergency in case the telephone lines went down and no one could communicate. You may recall the quarantine. During this time social media was the only way for people to stay in touch with one another. Of course, one could argue that the time spent in quarantine could be used for even more productivity and family time. I suppose it's all a matter of objective. But undoubtedly, too much time online doesn't do any good. Older people nowadays will trash kids that are online all day, but they usually learn these things from their parents, who also have their faces in the screen. It certainly doesn't help that most kids have an Ipad shoved in their face instead of being played with, or taken to the park. Everyone should look up from their screens once in a while and really take in life. Like the video said, the last thing you want to do is die with regrets.

I agree with the video in so many ways. Social media has a hold on everyone everyone is always looking at there phone people use it in class with or without permission everyone feels like they need social media if they want to know what's happening in the world. People need to just walk out and get a breath fresh air and take a walk disconnect from technology and enjoy the real world. Like mentioned in the video we aren't going to live forever so why spend the time you have staring at a screen instead of doing things out in the real world. I'm talking like I don't do the same thing I'm talking about but I do it all the time during the week during the weekend and even before school I sit on my phone waiting for class to start.

I agree with many points in the video. Phones and social media control people's lives almost every second of the day. We use them for education, entertainment, emergencies, and even more things that aren’t listed. And it’s gotten to the point where people text each other in the same room! We use it so much that it’s not a tool anymore, it’s a lifestyle. I believe that everybody does need to take a break from social media. It can cause stress, depression, anxiety, and much more. Taking a break can reduce stress, anxiety, and you will feel much better about yourself. To summarize, social media should be something you use periodically and not all the time. Using it a lot can badly affect your mental health so use it wisely.

I agree with this video. Social Media has created a sense of understanding that by being on the phone 24/7, you are actively social in your community. I believe that while social media is important, being social is not only being active in social media. Being social involves getting to know your neighbors, spending time with your family, or even going on a bike ride with friends. Social Media has caused people to believe that it's "normal" to stay in your room all day and text in a group chat. The reality is that social media is actually taking away from our social life more than we think.

This video makes me question whether the interactions people have online are just a replacement for real life experiences or it truly does fulfill them. I believe that online interactions lack a lot of authenticity of face-to-face conversations. For instance, body language and tone are important in life for building understanding but communicating online experiences lacks those experiences that are important to get. This video emphasizes how important is to get away from technology and find your own growth from it by being present in the actual moment. However, I also recognize that it does depend on perspective. Some people see it as building supportive communities online that you cannot find in the real world and that is why some others feel a sense of belonging in that type of area and don't wanna try anything new. After watching this video, it made me think of the negative effects and I believe that it can be bad, but technology should also be approached with a perspective that understands both sides of the argument.

This video had a lot of impact on me. All of the things the video said were true, even if people don't want to think about it, the cell phone does create a sense of illusion that when you put the phone down you realize that it was all just a feeling. I am also a victim of walking with my phone and looking down, and I miss so many amazing things on the street if my parents weren't there to tell me to look up at the beautiful things we were looking at, I would not have noticed them. Yes, I believe we all should take a rest from our phones and go enjoy the real world learn new cultures and meet new people all without posting on social media.

After watching the video Look Up by Gary Turk, I realized how much time I spend staring at a screen instead of actually connecting with the people around me. The video made me think about how I constantly check my phone and scroll through social media, even when I’m sitting with friends or family, and how that takes me out of the real moment instead of letting me truly enjoy it. Gary Turk’s message about having “friends” online but still feeling alone really hit home because I’ve seen it in myself and others too, and it made me want to work on putting my phone down more and paying attention to the people in my life instead of just what’s happening online.

I have also watched the video Look Up by Gary Turk and it is something that made me start thinking about the time I spend on my phone without even paying attention to it. The video demonstrated the ways in which being always in the screens may cause us to miss actual moments, actual people, and actual relationships. I also found that I at times scroll or text rather than communicate with other people around me, including my friends and family. This video made an impression on me as it made me remember that, life is not on a computer, but it is happening in front of my eyes. It caused me to wish that I was more in the moment, that I put my phone aside and I concentrated on life by making real connections rather than virtual ones.

Gary Turk’s video made me really think about how much time I spend on my phone and other screens, often at the expense of real-life connections. It reminded me that while technology helps us stay in touch, it can also create a barrier to truly being present with the people around us. The video’s message about the importance of genuine human interaction struck a chord because it challenged me to reconsider my habits and prioritize face-to-face moments over digital distractions. Overall, it inspired me to find a better balance between online life and meaningful, in-person relationships.

Seeing this video by Gray Turk, "look up". It really helped open up my eyes and in seeing how much I am glued to my devices and my iPhone and how its greatly affecting how I live my life and how I view the world. It also helps to let me see how being so in love with you screen isn't letting u be in love with the people who matter most and the things you like to see and have. And in the words of Gray Turk, "The time you take in all you made just by giving life attention and how your glad you didn't waste it by looking down on some invention". This helps really prove the point in that being glued to your screen does not help and makes it so you can't enjoy your life to the fullest and enjoy all the moments. This video also helps show how your "online friends' might be your friends but when it's time to get of the screen that emptiness and being alone rushes back to you in its fullest. But if you get off that screen and enjoy life and get to make all those great moments with the people you love and have. At the end I learned that if you put down that electronic or screen, you can go out in the world and enjoy what life is really about. Especially with the people you know and love in the real world not online.

Gary Turk's video is a reminder to not only myself, but everyone that social media is just an illusion of people's lives. The things people choose to share with you are not what their real lives actually are. These "influencers" have an agenda, which is to get you to buy whatever product they are pushing at you. If they are not selling you something, then they are wanting you to follow them or like their posts because that gets them paid. Countless of times you see these stories in the news where these people end up on the wrong side of the law and everyone is shocked. Social media allows alienates us from other people. We can become fixated on what we see on our screens and only want to spend time on our phones watching these people. We turn down invitations for outings with people for staying home.

“Look up” by Gary Turk is a reminder and reality check to many on how much/ how addictive social media can be. This video has encouraged me to live in the moment rather than live life through a screen.
