Theme: there is much talk about the negatives of mobile phones. The addiction. Not paying attention to the world. Just staring at this little screen.
But it all depends on the person, and how it is used.
Much like technology before (especially the television), it can be used to put ourselves to sleep. To distract.
But used in a conscious fashion, we can be connected to our peers, and gain relevant information whenever we need it.
It has also permitted people to gain access to the internet (in Africa, India, and Asian countries), without needing a pc or a laptop.
It has levelled the playing field in many ways.
Let us acknowlege the value of our phones. And that it is a powerful tool, used in the right way.
Namaste.

Quote:34.13 Questioner: What is the general overall effect of television on our society with respect to this catalyst?
Ra: I am Ra. Without ignoring the green-ray attempts of many to communicate via this medium such information, truth, and beauty as may be helpful, we must suggest that the sum effect of this gadget is that of distraction and sleep.
