And people will watch it obliviously on their cell phones.

Well... How did you guess🤣🤣

[@torkayesa5757]

U triggered?

[@kizryuver]

not everyone is addicted though and most of it is an exaggeration of the truth which foretells the future and what people who are addicted could become if they aren't helped ... most medical personnel have been allowed limited access to phones (ik many medical health workers personally)

[@alainrogermendy6031]

this story is really touching with the new technologies many people concentrate all their time on the mobile phone while they have a job to respect.

[@reidrobertson8072]

Alain Roger Mendy I don’t know what job u got where u can use your phone while participating in situations which are dependent on you. If you have your phone in McDonald’s you get fired, and you don’t even need a diploma for that. I have no idea what motivated you to comment this, I can think of a single job where you can use your phone when it’s not directly intended to be used and not get in some sort of trouble.

[@ivanysantos1652]

The vídeo was sent to me by Whats App and I had to look for information on KZbin to discover who is the autor. I'm from Brazil.

[@ericramundsen]

@@KISKISkeepitshort It's being misidentified as "L'altra Par" or "L'altra Pair" -- a different film entirely. And there's an article out there that claims it was created for a Canadian supermarket chain, but that too is a confusion -- they're thinking of the live-action short "EatTogether 2017," which begins with people focusing on their mobile phones instead of each other.

Interesting point. Why are you saying this?

[@conken5623]

And that's how all human kind died

[@kden2918]

This is pretty biased, so let's think for a minute: Have you ever seen a person who uses their phone as consistently and abruptly as what is displayed here? Probably not. Don't get me wrong there are unfortunately people who end up matching this extent, but come on mate that's like a drop in the ocean. Phones have changed lives for both the good and bad, and if the person (or people) that made this refuse to listen to our side than why shouldn't we just ignore what they had to say? Just my opinion. (Oh but the animation was solid and it was kinda funny other than that)

It's about phone ADDICTION..It's not about people who use phones but are not addicted to it..Obviously it's an exaggerated version of what happens in real life but some of them have actually happened in real life. Whether it's a small or big percentage doesn't matter at all because this video is intended to spread awareness among people, to show them what might happen if we get too much addicted to our cellphones..That's the point of this animation..and tbh people don't take anything seriously if we don't exaggerate it a bit and that's why I think a little bit exaggeration was also needed..
