The Smartphone Barrier

Is Looking At Your Smartphone Cool?

When you look down at your smartphone a barrier of energy forms around you. This barrier cannot be seen with the naked eye but it can be felt, by you and those around you.

All of your body language, your entire being, sends the following message to the world around you: Leave me alone. I have better things to do than communicate with you.

People look down at their smartphones because it looks cool.

The smartphone is a social tool that indicates to others your high social-status. When you look at your smartphone, you signal to those around you that have somewhere better to be and that you have unknown social connections that others aren’t aware of.

Where you are right now is never your end destination and where you are right now is never good enough.

The smartphone can certainly convey high status to those around you. You instinctively know that. That’s why you look down at it at parties, in the bar and in the nightclub. Even though there’s nothing on it to see. Even though nobody sent you any messages. Even though you’re pointlessly scrolling through social media feeds. And even though you’re missing the real party right in front of your eyes.
