  • Tanner has a comedic and uncanny way of noticing everyday events. He draws people in while entertaining them about his personal experiences pertaining to social interactions and common cell phone usage amongst the youth of today. Tanner Welton is a grade 8 student from the Langley, British Columbia. He enjoys public speaking, hockey, drama the outdoors and socializing with friends. He is a very social kid who takes a keen interest in people. He is very personable and charismatic. He notices the more subtle ways people interact and loves to evaluate these relationships and share stories. He is empathic and caring towards others and notices when others feel sad, lonely or not accepted in groups. He wants all to be accepted and cared for and strives for fairness and understanding in the world. He has learned to be resilient as he faces his own daily challenges and is learning to overcome obstacles and see the light in his future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      I feel you are absolutely correct. Don’t give kids all out access to phones and definitely keep them off social media. Strive to teach your children how to make meaningful and long lasting relationships. I see my kids friends that are in elementary school and already have cell phones and Facebook. When they stay over at our house we ask the parents to please keep the cellphones since we don’t allow our children access to things they don’t need to access.

    I think this whole speech is very accurate in showing the harsh reality in how so many people around the world are actually addicted to their cell phones. It’s an issue that lots of kids fail to acknowledge because it’s so common. I personally know multiple people in my life who are addicted to their phones and it’s sad to see how common it is.

    I am 13 years old and I was a victim of cell addiction. It wasn't a problem when I looked at my phone and played numerous videos for hours but then later own I noticed some changes in myself. Being distant with my family members, having anxiety problems and a lot of temper in the sense I get angry really easily for small things and I also became poor in studies. I just wanna give a small advice to students my age, phone addiction makes you loose a lot of things and yourself. I recommend you all to take very less time in front of the screen, cause once you get addicted it's hard to come back to reality instead lets take care of ourselves and focus for our future.

      I do agree that this is a problem but I do not think it is a very large one yes it is bad for kids to become distant and develop anxiety etc. However there are so many bigger things to focus on what about kids who are being targeted by vaping companies and get addicted to that what about kids who are being violently bullied online not because of cell phone attiction but for just being themselves. As someone who has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, has an addict for a parent(alcohol) and has tried to end there own life all at only 14 I think I have some say in the matte of wether this is a real problem we need to be focused on.

So its very hard to get away from technology even though i crave simpler times myself. Life just isn't like that anymore. People who weren't born before technology really evolved during the last 20 years simply dont understand. You go down the high street and for every ten people you see 9 of them will be staring down at their phone. It is awful, really awful. I wonder just how many of them will get to the end of their lives and be filled with regrets over how much of their life was wasted staring at a phone screen .

  • @noobhubzero1760

    I deleted most of my social media apps off of my phone besides discord and Snapchat, because these two tend to have the most privacy. It really makes you come to reality of how many friends/connections you actually have vs the fake connections in the virtual world.
    As a child, I used to be so worried that I won’t be like everyone else because everyone has Instagram, Snapchat, and more. But honestly, I would go back in time and thank my mom for not letting me have social media, and honestly to never let me and my brother have it at all. I regret using social media.
    It’s a waste of energy, and the sad part is people who have mental disorders seek online forums that do absolutely nothing for them but spit the same negative symptoms they are trying to address or fix. It’s ironic as the thing they are trying to use to address their mental illness is actually causing it.
    It gets to the point where adolescents and especially young teens can’t form a stable sense of self, and base their identity off of what everyone thinks. They turn down long-term dreams for short-term acceptance (fake acceptance), and it’s actually very sad.
    The world could possibly be a better place if the like button didn’t exist, and the like button was a clever component of social media from day one. Tech companies/social media companies are feeding off of social media usage, and the more likes users get, the more they’ll be apt to continue to use these outlets, therefore giving the companies what they want.

    It is all about balance. When you go to see a movie with your spouse, leave your phone at home. When you visit friends, put your phone away while you visit. You can grab a pic together just before leaving for home. When you go for a walk, enjoy nature, your dogs or children or significant other. Do not worry about social media. Be in the moment. Phone watching while crossing a street or worse yet, driving while using your phone, could be fatal for you or someone else. If you have an unfortunate aggressive encounter with someone, do not use your phone to spread the details of this toxic encounter with people who have nothing to do with the encounter and who do NOT want to know about it. Limit your time on the phone. Leave it at home and see if you can feel happy and comfortable without it. If not, you are addicted and no addictions are good for you. They imprison you! You will end up not sleeping well, getting depressed, feeling unfulfilled, because you are wasting precious time. Use them to uplift, educate or capture beautiful memories. Limit your time spent on them to one or two hours...no more! Do not document every minute of your life. Live instead!

    Consider Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple until his death in 2012. He didn't let his children use cellular technology until they turned 14. In a 2011 New York Times interview, he said that he prohibited his children from using the then newly-released iPad. Jobs specifically told reporter Nick Bilton, “We limit how much technology our kids use at home." When he was asked why he never let his kids use an iPad, he said “Actually we don't allow the iPad in the home. We think it's too dangerous for them in effect.” He recognized just how addictive the iPad was. And certainly marketers saw how much of a vehicle it was for delivering advertisements to people. Coming toward 2020, the lines were becoming very blurred in just how negative the effects of too much technology were having on this generation.

    "... or things they did way back in the 1900's..."
    Ah the good old 1900's when some of us used to spend 3+ hours on the phone (landline) talking to friends we had just talked to at school, or when our parents complained about the dial-up internet usage.

    The issue is, that addiction is required to function in society in most large countries right now. It's kind of disturbing when you think about it. It would be like if you had to take oxycodone before allowed into a job interview. Not having a cell cuts you off from job opportunities, safety/location assistance (ie if you have kids you'll understand this one for sure, I need a phone on me always), financial control/information, and speed/information required today for occupations or even daily tasks (like signing up for and getting to appointments). One example is many of the covid tests, which, regardless of your views on, many employers required before returning to work. They required the use of the VAULT website or app to submit the test as well as an email for timely results. Yes, there may be many issues surrounding phone usage but the answer unfortunately can't be "just stop then." I honestly wish there was an earnest discussion about things we could do to combat these issues.

      Meanwhile, like I said I acknowledge an addiction issue, my mom will not put down her phone for the reason of constantly perusing and posting to FB (which i personally hate and avoid using because I see what it does to her). I'm guessing the "answer" is a lot more nuanced and tailored to individuals as most instances of addiction are... it's just the societal reliance on the addiction source that makes it all that much more difficult.
