Since the use of smartphones has spread, we often spend time with people who do not take their eyes off the screen on these devices.

It is undeniable, it happens to everyone, we often do it without malice and we let ourselves be carried away by what is happening on those five or so inches of a smartphone screen.

The video we are about to propose illustrates one of these unpleasant situations, and unfortunately, it involved a woman and her little girl ...

We have all been ignored at least once due to smartphones. Sometimes we are so caught up and focused on something on our device that we ignore those in front of us, thereby, seeming to be impolite and disrespectful. Communication has now changed completely, and often we prefer interactions mediated by some device, rather than interacting face to face even if we have the possibility. We are not saying that this is done with malice, it is simply technological progress that motivates us to do things that were once completely inconceivable. But this does not mean that this kind of behavior can be justified in all situations. 

Some relationships that we inevitably ruin because of these attitudes are actually very precious. This is something that the mother of this child, who is the protagonist of this video that went viral on the Internet does not seem to know.  In fact, she has been nicknamed "Lady Smartphone" as the mother who completely ignored her daughter's desperate requests.

As you will see in the video that can be found at the end of this article, the woman completely ignores her little daughter's requests despite the fact that the little girl is crying. The mother seems to be completely hypnotized in front of the smartphone screen, showing a completely indifferent attitude towards her daughter. The video has had thousands of views, and more or less the same number of messages from viewers expressing their anger and disapproval of this inconsiderate mother.

It is true that currently, everyone lets themselves be carried away by these devices, and we use them in such an exaggerated way that we can no longer live without them. The only thing that we can do in these moments is to use a bit of common sense and reflect on the implications of our behavior, something that this woman obviously did not do.
