Sneaky phones

“That’s it! I’m turning off my phone so I can concentrate!”

The finger hovers over the off button.

But what if someone needs to ring me to save their life? Or what if someone close to me dies, I would want to know right away.”

“Ok I’ll just put it on silent”

A few moments later (said in a French accent a la Spongebob)…

Buzz!

Concentration broken

Buzz!

“No, come on now ignore it and focus”

Buzz!

Curiosity piqued.

Buzz!

“Ok maybe I’ll just check the lock screen to see a preview of the messages”

“Oh the new Marvel movie trailer is out, oh I’ll just watch this one video”

And the day has been sacrificed to the social media sites.

These phones don’t present all their arguments at once.

They guide you down the path.
