'We believe the message of this video is that people need to disconnect from their technological world and their virtual life in order to communicate with other people in their real lives. Sometimes people forget that we can have a good time together with our friends and family. Instead we spend a lot of time with our cell phones, computers and other devices that are related to technology. There are a lot of things that we could do interacting with each other, but most of us prefer to stay at home with our gadgets. To make things worse, we often forget people who are right beneath us, as we are texting or listening to music. It's pure addiction!
We think this is a real problem because human beings need to communicate face-to-face. As human beings, we need to interact and do activities together, which is real important for our social life. In our opinion, technology and the different gadgets are very important but we should control the time we are connected with them so that they don't become an addiction in our lives. So, we'd better forget them and enjoy the life with people that we like. We should disconnect to connect!'
