Moment I Knew

At HuffPost, we're kicking off an exciting new project and we'd love you to participate! It's called "The Moment I Knew," and is a user-submitted video series where readers tell the stories of life-changing moments they have experienced. Each section of HuffPost has chosen a different theme -- whether it was the moment you knew you wanted to marry your spouse, the moment you knew your marriage was over, the moment you knew you loved college, or the moment you knew you were broke. You can also tell us about any other life-defining moment you'd like to share. The possibilities are endless!

Here on HuffPostTech we've suggested that you tell us about "The Moment I Knew My Phone Was Taking Over My Life." Was it when you broke a bone tripping over something because you were too busy texting? When you developed text neck or BlackBerry thumb? When your significant other threatned, "either the iPhone goes or I do?" We want to hear from you.

It's really easy to contribute! You can create your video using YouTube or Vimeo and send the link/URL of the video to themomentiknew@huffingtonpost.com. If you create your video using your laptop or mobile phone and have a video file, please attach the file in an email to themomentiknew@huffingtonpost.com. Your video submission is subject to our User Terms. Please make sure to include your full name with your video submission. Each video should be 30-60 seconds long, and should feature only you, speaking right into the camera telling your story. Please start your story with the words "The moment I knew..."

We can't wait to hear from you! And if you have any questions, please email themomentiknew@huffingtonpost.com.

Check out our first user-submitted video (below).

Two years ago, I forced my then 85 year old active grandmother to buy a cell phone because she was driving 150 miles from one city to another visiting relatives frequently and I wanted her to be able to call someone if she ran into trouble. By the time she finally got the phone, I'd been bugging her about it for five years. She insisted she'd only use it for emergencies. She ended up having to go on a plan with unlimited minutes because she kept running up overages on her 750 minute/month plan. Hahahaha. I love her!
