This video does a fantastic job visually expressing the addiction our generation has to social media. We see our world in terms of social media sites and by having our smart phones constantly at our fingertips, our connectivity is never turned off. The part of the video where the protagonist drops his phone shows this phenomenon, for his world is turned off and he feels lost.
This video also shines light upon the fact that relationships are clearly affected by social media. None of the characters that are seemingly friends interact in person or verbally communicate; they rely on posting on one another's wall or adding each other as a friend. Furthermore, we see these characters check out each other's social media presence to make an opinion of them. This is something we are guilty of in today's time. It is very common for us to "stalk" someone's Facebook before pursuing a relationship to ensure their web presence paints a picture of them that is worthy of you. Relationships suffer because being seemingly connected to one another hinders real time face-to-face interactions.
