Cell Phones - Connection or Disconnection?

Cell phones have extensively flooded the market as the essential communication tool whether you are at school, in business or traveling, but do cell phones really meet their objective as connection tools?

Last summer we were at the pool with our children, they were having a great time splashing and swimming around. Soon a father and his two children joined us by the poolside. The children got ready and got into the water, the father lay down on the sun lounger and took out his cell phone. The children tried hard to get their dad’s attention, they shouted, they did tricks they even started being naughty. Nothing they did raised an eyebrow or any recognition. The father was connected to his cell phone but not to his children.

When we left the pool that day our children expressed their sadness that the children didn’t have a daddy who loved them. We were quite shocked by that statement and asked why they thought that. They responded “If their daddy loved them he would spend time with them not time on the cell phone”. Looking back at that day I am certain that father thought he was spending time with his children, after all he had taken them to the pool!

How many of us feel we are connecting with our families but are actually disconnected? Have you allowed the cell phone to steal precious family time?
