'Modern Man': Couple Discovers Depths Of Male iPhone Addiction (VIDEO)

It's getting pretty hard to go through the day without finding a reason (or excuse) to use our mobile devices. Where are we going? Use a map application. What are we doing there? Find reviews of it. Who are we doing it with? One word: Facebook. And with all the downtime in between using applications, there's Twitter and email.

Austin-based comedian/filmmakers John Merriman and Kerri Lendo, who you might remember from their previous short "Sleep Study," poke fun at our growing iPhone dependency in their new very funny short, "Modern Man." Merriman and Lendo play a couple whose plans are totally controlled by Merriman's iPhone, to the point that "connecting ideas" and "analyzing thoughts" are handicapped by the fact that there's an electronic device that can do all that for him... and more. And that's before funny videos enter the equation.

In conclusion, this Internet video is very good and funny, but what's even more good and funny is spending time with your loved ones. LOL!

Heh... I don't have an iPhone, I don't even have a Cell phone. If I didn't have kids I wouldn't even have a house phone. I probably don't want to talk to you when we're in the same room, why would I want to talk to you when we aren't? =p

That was good. Everytime I see the siri commercial though, I just keep thinking has it really come to this? You really just can't open a book, look in a newspaper, open the window, really? Soon the movie idiocracy will be true. No one wants to put any effort in figuring things out for themselves anymore.

My gosh! Someone who is on the same page as I am. I always thought I was the only one who felt that way.

I have a cheep, no frills mobile phone that only gets used if it's 2:30am, I'm drunk and desperately need a cab.

Real men wouldn't even hold an iPhone in their calloused muscular hands. Real men use Droids.

real men like rocky balboa don't use no girly cell phones, they tear open the window and belllow down the dark alley apartment rows at their future brother-in-law "yo sista's with me ok?!"
