Here’s one for the social media geek in all of us. And, well, basically for everyone on planet Earth. If you’ve been in public any time in, say, the last ten years, you may have noticed that over half the people you see have their noses stuck in their mobile device. And the ironic thing about this behavior is that while everyone is being social on their phone, they are being completely anti-social with those around them.

Insurance provider Foresters, through it’s TechTimeOut effort is encouraging the public to put down their techie toys and interact with actual human beings. It’s not the first such effort but it is a funny one. In the ad, we see all manner of mobile device disaster from walking into the wrong house to walking into a light pole.
