There are so many things in this world other than being on our phones. I was watching this movie called “Turning Seventeen Again” where one of the grandchildren who does science experiments turns their grandparents back to when they were seventeen and ends up going to their granddaughters highschool since they don’t know how to turn them back.
When they go back to highschool for the first time they see how times have changed a lot especially since there was a generation difference. In one of the scenes the grandpa got into an argument because he didn’t want to revert back to being an old man and also ended up dating this girl which made the grandma upset so she decided to date a guy at the school. The grandpa had made new friends and while he was over at their house all they did was play video games and didn’t really enjoy it all that much because that’s all they did and ate junk food like pizza and chips.
He talked to the guys about how there is a bigger world out there than just playing video games all day. People don’t even communicate now because they are so busy scrolling through social media which can take up a lot of time when you can be doing better things. People don’t even talk about how social media is like a drug and people can’t stay off it.
There are so many things to do like hanging out with friends,traveling,enjoying nature without lots of sound, and even reading a book. Reading isn’t really something I like to do but reading can help increase your imagination versus seeing everything on a screen. I love being on my phone but sometimes I need a break from my phone and need to meditate and focus on spending time with the people I care about the most.
At the end of the movie they both realize the times and memories they had together were amazing and end up going back to being grandparents. When they both turn back into grandparents the parents return and things turn back to normal but the parents thought they were acting strange because they were so happy to be back in their regular lives again. Well,whoever reads this I hope you enjoyed and most of all stay safe and stay positive.
