I think CZcams is by far the most used app on my apple tv. Good to know there are more of us out there.

Do you guys ever look around when you are in public at the people of all ages completely locked into their phone and think "wow...I dont think I want to contribute to this anymore"? Smart phones have just infiltrated every part of life and it seems like something that just by its nature tends to be all consuming. Couples laugh about how they lay down in bed and then stare at their phones. Even to the point where I think its rare to not see people with their phone up in front of their face while they drive. Not just kids either. Im shocked car accidents havent gone through the roof. Maybe I am just getting older and my views are changing but I am becoming more and more interested in physical things that I can touch and feel like an in-person relationship or growing a garden or fixing up an old car. OR technology that goes along side of my life and makes it better but doesnt define it. Maybe Im just old. :)
