I forgot my phone

The ethnography in this video is people who  are constantly on their phones. The story being told in the video is that people spend too much time on their phones and can’t seem to put it down. That instead of enjoying time with the ones that are with you, people are more concerned with what is on their phone.   The interpretation is that in the American culture cell phones are ruining time with family and friends. It shows that in American culture we are unable to put our phones down for even the important events. People have to take a photo or share something on social media and are missing out on what is happening in front of them.  In the video the girl that doesn’t have her phone seems to be really enjoying her time more than those who are constantly on it.  It also shows that she tries to have conversations with the people around her but they are too busy on their phones taking pictures, recording videos, texting or even on social media. The video really puts how bad things have gotten in our culture into perspective.  The cell phones first came out for just calls but have now become a life line to some people. We as a culture cant seem to live without that little thing constantly being with us.
