The video was created by Amir Zakeri, whose personal experience led him to suddenly become fearful of how many connections he might have missed because of his excessive screen time.‘I was taking a long bus journey in Japan last November when my phone battery died,’ said Amir, who stars in the video.
Amir, who works as an independent filmmaker, and lives in Oahu, Hawaii, continued: ‘I ended up talking with this old couple for hours and it was one of the best conversations I have ever had in my life. ‘Then I started thinking, what about all the times I was travelling and my phone didn’t die, how many thousands of missed connections were there?
From that day forward Amir vowed to wean himself off his smartphone addiction and spend more time communicating with people in the real world.‘I’ve had loads more interactions with people of all ages, men, women, kids.
