I do have an iPod, but I try not to use it around friends/family. And yes, those "relationships" bug the heck out of me! I know a few people who do that, and I've tried to talk some sense into them, and show them who our friends who actually see each other in person are so much happier! I don't have a boyfriend (yet), but I hope that when I do, he and I will spend more time in person rather than texting or Facebooking. I have a young man that he and I are, well, almost dating, and we enjoy each others' face-to-face time soooo much more than just texting. It's so much more meaningful when you realize the other person took time out of his/her day to actually be with you! so, anyone who is reading this PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND CLOSE THE LAPTOP IF YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP! So, yes Steve, I agree with you!!!! haha Your Sisiter in Christ, Casey Steve Mendoza, I 100% agree with you!

This is so true! I have an ipod and yes, I listen to it probably more than I should! However, when I am cleaning the kitchen I have it on the speakers so that everyone in the room can hear it and I am not limiting it to just me. I do turn the music down so that we can talk and it is just in the background. This post is very thought provoking Brett! (and convicting) ;) Thanks so much! In Christ, Madeline Oh! This is so true!

There have been countless times that I've been so "plugged up" I just completely ignore my family. Thanks for posting this! Ooo…this is really convicting.

I mean, the music is uplifting and everything, but it defeats the purpose of a QUIET time! God speaks to us in the silence, and just talking to Him isn't all there is to it. Thanks for the great post though. Another daily reminder to listen to something and Someone else besides just my music!

I know a lot of people (myself included!!) that will zone out on a drive to a youth function or camp with their ipods and cameras and not pay attention to those around us. Same with at home, when we're supposed to be with our families but taking time away from that to facebook or even reading. Thanks for the post...still convicting after almost four years! :) Ha, although the intro is hilarious, it’s convicting.

I know that I use a lot of my things, like my MP3 player and computer, with a good measure of self-control, but still reading this reminds me to pay more attention to the people around me, and it cautions me not to become self-absorbed. I still have progress to make. Thanks very much for the post. (The Hollywood boy-girl romance introduction was MOST amusing and entertaining.) I’ve beaten Elizabeth and Alyssa P.

Wow! I so needed to hear this. I know I'm not respecting the time God has given me [and expected me to use wisely] when I spend way too much time on the laptop instead of getting with the family or studying or just doing other more active things then indulging in technology constantly. And really, it is so refreshing to get out and spend time with people rather than an Apple or Mac anyway. ;) Our friends and family deserve better. (And really, we're doing ourselves a favour when we balance our use of technology). Thanks for this. It's good to hear it spoken out. This is an old post but the truth of it will never get old.
