The first time I ever saw this commercial, I laughed because with each situation that is presented, I have seen it or been a part of it. I constantly find myself sitting on the couch with my friends or family, looking up to find each person looking down with eyes glued on their iPhones. It seems that each time I go to a restaurant, I see that one couple in a conversation with only their phones, not each other. Sitting in airports, waiting for class to begin, and laying out at the pool are some of the places where you see the majority of people with eyes only on their phones. I HATE IT.
I absolutely hate my phone. Yes, it is a pretty iPhone 5, and it is convenient for when I need to send a last minute email or when I need to know if something important is going on around me. However, I get bored so easily from it. If you have something important enough to talk to me about (that will take more than 4 text messages, that will require a literal conversation on Twitter, or requires a Facebook message), call me. If we aren't good enough friends to talk on the phone, I probably will not get back to you until I sit down at my computer to check every piece of social media or I AM REALLY INCREDIBLY BORED.
Here is the hard part: I need to get my act together and start liking my phone, while knowing how to balance my need to actually have conversations and be aware of what's going on into the world. I never thought that my lack of using social media on my phone would come back to hurt me. But, it does. Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest can provide me with a world of knowledge, both useful for my career and useful for my everyday life. However, I do not want to fall into a trap where I become one of these people in the commercial that needs a cone wrapped around my neck to see the world.
P.S - I wonder which Coca-Cola advocate said "Let's bash on social media, today." Another reason I absolutely love Coke.
