there are certain things
that in one change
could affect
your whole life your children's lives
your future generations
in one change
we are all
unfortunately
living in a world
of
depravity
we're living in a world
and a society
that preaches the worst morals and
values
and it's all available to us
every single one of these corrupt ideas
and pictures
they're all available at our fingertips
with this smartphone
and if the only problem
with this smartphone
was
the pitted suit and the disgusting
content
[Music]
that would be enough
to fast and cry
from this plague
but it goes beyond
every free moment that a person has
who's addicted to this
immediately when he's idle
he looks for the phone
and he shoots for it
and starts scrolling and looking and
looking and looking and looking looking
and it takes over all of our free time
there's no such thing as free time
there's always something else to look at
someone else's life to look at someone
else's pictures
my emails my stock market whatever you
want
i'm
so many people have become addicted
children someone told me that a child
refused to go to camp because he didn't
want to leave the phone and play and
stop playing the games
our children are being becoming addicted
from the age of four years old they know
everything
and it's an automatic reflex
the second you're free boom
go to the phone
and if that
was the problem it would also be enough
to declare a first
but it gets even worse
in the most precious moments of our
lives
when we're home talking to our spouses
to our children
it's ruining our shalom by it
you could be standing opposite somebody
and you're both looking at the phone
and you can walk into a room with 100
people and 90 of them are looking down
and no one's interacting
and you have great people
who come out at night to learn torah
and they come in the morning till and
they dedicate their lives
but sixty percent of the class they're
on the phone looking at things
but it just became
natural
that we don't even think about it
anymore it's normal
oh wait leave him he's on the
phone and in the middle
of our prayers talking to hashem
it's just a natural reflex
and it's taking over our lives
it's ruining families it's ruining
shalom by it a religious man said
because of his addiction he's mahal
shabbat he can't stop
and our
what are our children being fed i once
read a study
many
years ago
i read a study
that the average child was watching
three to five hours of television a
night
yet he was only interacting with his
parent
for less than 15 minutes
regular conversation besides rebuking
them less than 15 minutes of parental
guidance
and five hours of television and who's
raising the children
the violence the profanity
the study said a man who lives to the
age of seventy
seven to ten years of his life is spent
on television
what would they say today about the
phone
how much of his life
is spent on the phone
in one
one kabbalah somebody told me i was so
impressed he said i tried so many ways
because it was taking over my life it
was taking over my torah my tevilla my
shalom
but i couldn't get rid of it i had so
much on it so much riding on it my
business but he's a business owner
he said but i came up with a plan
i got two phone numbers
my regular phone i turned into a flip
phone
i take that phone with me at home at
night
the other phone i leave in my car or in
my business
he said i'm so free
i feel so free at home
i have quality time with my children
with my family
my torah
went up 100 in my understanding
one change
it's a very very huge change
but the
benefits that come out
are so great
for our children
it's a plague we have to do something to
stop it
because we don't even realize it's
taking over
you
