Smartphone Quotes

“What if we pour all our resources into building a smart city, only to realize that we have forgotten to cultivate smart minds? Our obsession with smartphones and mindless entertainment has led us astray, preventing us from truly experiencing the beauty of the world and connecting with others. Let us not trade genuine human connections for a virtual reality, for it is through true smiles and heartfelt encounters that our cities truly come alive.”

“Our generation is hijacked by the interest to know the features and potential of a smartphone than of their own body. Our body is a miracle scientists have not been able to figure out all of it yet. There are scientific societies spending millions and billions of dollars in the research of one particular human organ and we choose to remain uninformed. Meditation is a solution to many many walls we hit on our path of life. The common mistakes we make while choosing to meditate are: 1. Focusing too much on Am I doing it right. 2. Overexpecting to unlock "nirvana" within days Since the mind gets stormy with thoughts even a single second of peace can help us feel more rested and leave us with a clearer path. The idea of killing somebody might cross your mind, but do not get obsessed with thoughts. This thought will be 1 thought among the 60,000 you get every day. The idea is to label it as a thought, accept it and move on without judging or rejecting it. Meditation is about reaching the spot with acceptance. Letting it all in and shaping it well. - Shivam Nirvan”

“Put down your smartphone, smell the roses, and—as Gandalf instructs King Théoden when the latter emerges from Wormtongue’s hypnotic spell in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Tolkien—‘breathe the free air again, my friend.”

“A neon-pink 3 flickered and instantly disappeared again into the dark. The sight of it on my own device now made me sick. I held my finger down on the menu screen; each little app logo began to vibrate. I deleted the 3. I contemplated deleting everything. Cleaning it all away. The idea had a charm, a self-cancellation, many little suicides, a way to dispatch myself without actually going anywhere.”

“Beware of your kid's screen consumption time - it's a matter of life and death - of psychological life and psychological death. Raise them in a way that they do not lose their sense of community in the fake crowd of hashtags and emojis.”

“The very existence of social media is predicated on humankind's primitive drive of attention seeking. And when they successfully monetize your attention, they end up with billions of dollars and you end up with a screwed up mental state. And if we don't do anything about it now, the next generation will be a generation of mentally unstable glass creatures.”

“I urge all responsible citizens across the world to demand the parliament of your country to ban the use of any social media platform that doesn't have a health hazard warning on their welcome screen stating "excessive use of this platform can cause severe mental health problems".”

“Reliability has become scarce – commitment has become scarce – attachment has become scarce. The very socio-psychological mechanisms that sustain the stability and wellness of a society are beginning to collapse, and when they do, the very fabric of societal stability and sanity will get ripped apart, which I am afraid is no longer a possibility. This has already begun to happen and the situation will get only worse, creating a society full of sociopaths, psychopaths and basically unstable, depressed and superficial human beings with no strength of character and conscience, and no sense of patience and sanity whatsoever. They will crave for appraisal – they will crave for attention – they will crave for flattery – they will crave for perfection. Everything about them will be artificial and superficial. And no matter how much they pretend to present their life as perfect, inside they will be dying every single second of their existence.”
