Whats the longest distance in the world ? Rabindranath Tagore once said The farthest distance in the world
Is not the distance between life and death
But you don't know I love you when I stand in front of you

I admit it’s sweet and romantic. but the answer would be the longest distance in the world is that we are sitting right side by side but we are staring at each one’s precious seperatly cell phone with eyes fixed.

A photographer form New york has recently labled the young cellphone lovers as the new look down generation.His original vedio warned people for gaze at your phone in public would somehow aotomatically lose the chance of meeting your Mr./Mrs.Charming if you won’t look up.

I believe what he said totally make sense.Here are what I think of the new look down generation form a teacher’s pont of view.

Being addicted to cellphone games would surely train you to stay focues at one thing for a long long time, but just like a drug addict, the cellphone game addict would found it so hard to kick their habbit even though he knows it’s not good at all. and  when they are itchy to play games,nothing can stop them even in class. I found one of my students a little bit of abnormal tham others because I can’t see his face when he was actually often looked down not look up to the blackboard with his text book hold on his desk. But that disguise totally captured my curiosity. I went straight to him and saw he was indulging himslef in a wonderful world filled with cellphone games. I then confiscate his phone and told him to get it back after class. But being in a classroom withoout a cellphone is like sailing without a compass he didin’t know what to do,so after a while he took somebody else’s phone when the phone owner showed him an angry face,he was frightened and left.so,being a cellphone addict would definitly put you in a not so good position when you are in a public place and have no idea how to fit in and at least act noraml,

what strikes me most as Being an English teacher is that besides teaching English I never thought I have to teach Chinese ! Since the smart spelling is really easy to type out what we want even though we are not 100 precnet sure how many letters in one word. So, during my teaching ,there is one Enlish word they don’t understand which is quite alright so I translated it into Chinese, but what surprised me is that when they were about to write down the Chinese explanation, forgot how to write it. So I got a lot of requests on how to write the character in Chinses!I laughed.i said don’t get attached to every fancy electronic products, look, our handwriting skill is seriously decreasing.

Whatsmore, students may dream about their campus romance but I think it’s wiser for a student to meet them face to face not by use your app to add some random stranger by simply shaking your cell, or constanly apply the function of searching someone nearby.i’ve heard we may end up making new friends with your dad or mom not the hottie you were expecting form the glimpse of their avatar. So you do the math!

Maybe it’s the right to apply your useful apps to help you with your study. If you don’t, you might regret it 10 or 20 years later by realizing oh, I was wrong there is not so many demands for profesional game players.

Walking on the street,especially around a intersting spot. We often see someone fix theirs at a screen, and move little by little and then turn around and check again. I just know that they are looking at the electronic map to get directions. Aparently these apps is not not helping with their geography, they still don’t know how to face the south and take a step forward. What’s wrong with asking local people around? Failing to use any electronic map may point out  learning geogrphy at school may come in handy.

There is a picture below, It must be wortten by one insightful student and I am willing to share ;

I believe he is right. Look up. Don’t look down. Let us start trying.
