Stop Looking at Your Phone, by Son of Alan

Everyone knows smart phones have impacted the way we live and go about our days.  Son of Alan has a message for you: Stop Looking at Your Phone.  With simple graphics and illustrations, he communicates simple steps you can take to engage with people and the world around you.  Actually, it's one simple step: put the phone away (or maybe just trash it).

He illustrates the many perils to our bodies, social lives, relationships, and health that our phones may cause.  Missing out on meeting new people or enjoying our families, falling down stairs or into a manhole, or falling over a waterfall during a botched selfie are bad enough.  When we're glued to our phones, we might also miss the best part of a concert, or get caught up in filming or posting about something without truly enjoying it.

Funny and sarcastic while giving good reminders to put the phone away, Stop Looking at Your Phone is sure to hit a nerve and make you sheepishly put your phone in your pocket.  That's a good thing.
