Are feeding time because you are too busy playing of you miss Your Pet on your iPhone?

A few months ago, I was over at a friend's House, staying with them for a few days, I was busy on my computer and ran around the House, playing on their smart phone. Their dog was running around and of course needed some attention, and/or possibly wanted something. I thought it was a rather funny scene, but it makes sense that the dog is feeling neglected, since my friend got their iPhone. Now I'm too busy to play on this hi-tech gadgets, and they were ignoring their pet.

After seeing this off and on for about an hour and a half, the dog started barking at my friend. And my friend said. "what, what, what you want-oh my God, I forgot to feed you." Of course, would you mind my friend, but I had no idea what time they fed normally their dog. Now then, I would like to ask you a serious question; are your pets, feeding time because you're too busy to play too much on your iPhone? Okay, let's talk about this for a second.

There was an interesting article in the San Jose Mercury News the other day titled; "Next up: iPhones? Psychologists shake for smartphone obsession, "by Ellen Gibson, a reprint of the Associated Press published the July 26, 2011. The article said:

"Blackbird, a clinical psychologist, said that she noted a number of behaviors among users of smartphones which she labels" problematic ". Among these, Merlo said that some patients pretend to speak on the phone or fiddling with applications to avoid contact with eyes in a bar or a party. Others are so genuinely engrossed in their phones that completely ignore the people around them. "The bells and whistles plus the phone has," says, "the more likely they are to get too attached."

Not only are people more addicted to their smart phones, and even now there are self-help groups for people who can't turn them off, or go without playing on them for more than 10 minutes at a time. Have you ever noticed when you're sitting in a restaurant, or in a cafe, which suddenly someone is sitting, and I am committed to playing on their personal tech device all the time, completely ignoring all the others in the room?

It happens more often than you think, and you can do it without thinking. Now then, which is all well and good, and it is your choice to spend your time as you want, but please don't neglect your animal. Indeed, I hope you please consider all of this and think about it.
