Seductive Red Dots

This week, I noticed that I am controlled by my phone. It probably doesn't happen to you, of course, but I feel compelled to look at this pocket-sized life interrupter too many times a day. I started wondering why.

First, let me say that I'm not going to embark on a message seeking to destroy your device because it's evil. I can't imagine the inconvenience of life without it, even having lived through a time when nobody knew what a cell phone was. 

I considered that being subject to FOMO (the fear of missing out) is not a huge factor. I also considered that I could be erroneously self-analyzing.

Bliss, Movie 2021 (Amazon)

Emily has been chasing her dad for quite a while. Her concern appears valid; he’s become detached from reality. In one lucid moment, he promises to be there for her graduation. Suddenly, he finds that he is fired (for cause, really) and the fog sets in for (Doctor) Greg Wittle. The Graduation promise is left hidden in folds of vapor with all intentions of mind and deed.

The Wikipedia link is in the first line in case you want to know more about the film. Just to be clear, this production was not favored by most critics. Audience reviews could also be called troublesome.
