Addiction to Technology is Ruining Lives – Simon Sinek on Inside Quest
Author and TED speaker Simon Sinek talks with Tom Bilyeu on Inside Quest about millennials and how addiction to technology is leading to addiction and costing them relationships, jobs and personal satisfaction.
8 years free of the stupid smart phone ,yesss.
Amazing video and even when in Cuba the Internet era is barely starting we r already seeing and suffering the negative effects of this. And this makes me wonder…why isn’t there a class or sth that teaches kids manners when using their phones? Just like the ones he mentions in the video that are wrong, like in a group meeting, on a date with ur partner, a family reunion, that kind of stuff should be taught as well as how not to let social media affect negatively ur mood or just life in general.
I think comparing cigarettes, gambling and alcohol to phones is a bit much. But I agree, I have seen heaps of people like this. The only social media network I interact with is YouTube and I’m not addicted. I just watch it when I’m board, or tired, or stressed. I think it is important not to say it’s only adolescents though. There are many people like this but are adults up to 40 – 50 years old.
I hate working with young adults they are always on their phones and never attentive and managers are not doing anything about it anymore
When you see this show with your phones..your addicted too
The real cause of our misery is this society and system we "live" in.
You are not allowed to go anywhere unless you pay for it and money is hard to get these days so we stay at home doing noting but wasting our life.
Also people are so different from each other that its extremely hard( and impossible for many) to connect with anyone.
We dont feel free going anywhere and talking to anyone because we are afraid of the aggression of other people who will most likely will not understand us.
The source of it all is overpopulation and obsession with government control of the whole society.
i love talking to people but uninvited controlling my money and manipulation to make money from all of us,your addiccted to not sharing money

I literally AGREE! Like phones are SO addicted. And that is why I stop using my phone. We should bring back those FLIP phones. I wish it was like the 70s, 80s, 90s,00s and early 10s again. This is just a horrible life we are in!
I can tell you just in the last 10 years I’ve become addicted to being on my phone all the time. It started out when I got a "smart" phone the immediate gratification of picking up your phone and accessing anything you want is convenient and also dangerous. Pray for my soul.
I wake up in the middle of my sleep to make sure my cell us ok!
have no IG no FB and only whatsapp out of necessity but i hardly talk on whatsapp / phone. I hope everybody sees that smartphones are runinig our normal social behaviours.
Just found this video ? thank god i thought i was the only one that was seeing this was happening to people !!!! total addiction whats wrong with people !!!! get a grip !!!!!
"Nothing wrong with social media and cell phones" I think we probably scientifically prove there’s alot wrong with it and thr world would be better without that crap
The moron is completely disconnected from reality.
The culture is ruined. Go to any gym ,
Bar , social event , you’ll see the majority of humans not interacting because of tech addiction
It’s over. Technology has won. Humans have lost. Sky net has arrived.
It’s so true wake up! Stop laughing
There was a video of a guy online years ago that at the time I thought was hilarious, where he married his phone with a preacher and everything. Now that video makes sense.
A G R E E 💯
smartphones are the final marketing and capitalist tool
I’ve given up all social media I just can’t stop watching YouTube
Glad I grew up in the late late 90s and early 2000s
I had a good childhood, no phones, no internet, no social media
Give this a listen:

I remember I promised my kids a cell phone when they turned 16, they got shamed at school for not having one they went outside and played as soon as they got the cell phone this went away very quickly. This is a tool of the devil and they will listen to anything told to them off the internet and don’t even get me started on ADHD and medication.
I know Apple offers its "Screen Time" feature but from what I understand this can easily be turned off again. A better option is to get a "dumb phone" like the Mudita Pure which only offers the bare minimum features. And, no, I’m not an investor in/employee of any dumb phone company – I just think their products offer good alternatives to iPhones and Android phones.
COUCOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
My brother when he gets his phone taken away: 😡👺👹💢🤬 "I see how it really is" *Loud whiny agressive crying*
My brother when he gets his phone back: 😇😄🥺❤🤗😎 "I’m sorry"
Imagine youtube recommended this to you.
you guys are typing on a phone or computer. GET OFF OF IT
Imho, Some of his remarks are out of context and over simplified.
Wow! Someone telling the actual truth without radical immature zealots outside/front of his home. Or, did they do that, too? Wierd and scary times. AMJ metaltomotown
Videodrome
That’s why i have a Light Phone
What about watching tv
I totally agree. Whenever I go to my friend’s house, she is always on her phone texting her friends. Like just put the damn phone down and spend time with people who came to see you. 😭
wait je suis sur le projecteur
Bravo, Simon!
Put the phone inside pocket
I envy with my friend who use phone just for calls and learning new things
send me the script, need it for some class
If your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend when he wakes up in the morning first looks at the phone before looking at you, end that relationship and get out of there
This cost me an hour of sleep, check your phone when you wake up in the morning because people may have cancelled the meeting you’re getting up for
True words
Being able to click off the apps and focus your energies in other areas is becoming more and more apparent, being part of a support bubble while evaluating your own self-care routines helps to find balance enabling you to achieve more and improve mental health.
Very true from what I heard from him. We need to balance on everything we do and the access is addiction.
It must be the same for TV
I deactivated my accounts and I can honestly say that my life is much better
Modern society has become technology driven. Our dependency on it has become too much..we are distanced fro. reality.. Real communication is about talking with people through meeting each other. Too.much social media and cell phones are destroying society. I.lovd reading novels, writing and spending quality time with my dog family and friends. I have decided to take a break from technology. I am fed up.of it. The good old days life was more fruitful. Today it is getting boring and crap
Not until you realize that most people do not care about you on social media will you then be able to focus on real relationships and be happy. 👍
I dont even use Facebook or any "social" media.
I just find it boring.
I use only youtube and skype.
Youtube for learning new things and skype to talk to my friend.
I am going to show this video to my class and introduce a new policy for phones. It is troubling me so much that these teenagers are so strongly addicted to their phones and they cannot put it away in the classroom. Hopefully this will motivate them.
