 You're on you you frequently use not being a poker, right? No, no, no. I'm over that. I'll get my revenge next year And those of you missed the poker tournament. It was a blast. We had so much fun and where's Garrett? Yeah, he he blew us all away. He was amazing so you often in your talks will use the iPhone as an example of innovation and how incredible the resources that nowadays we have access to and I certainly agree with all that and I love my iPhone as well, but I often think of the analogy of Fire and let's just say when humanity first discovered it it probably took a while to master it and contain it the way we do now So I'm curious what your thoughts are over some of the destructive elements of technology like the iPhone in the short term I see people all the time just focused on their iPhone Wasting time looking at social media, etc. Hundreds of millions of people. What do you think the worst case? I mean, I think look every technology, you know television I remember some of you probably remember this mostly we don't all the complaining about we watch too much television We're glued to the television screen every evening all we do is watch television It's gonna destroy America and kids won't be able to think and won't be able to do anything because they're watching television all the time And yeah, some people abuse television still do right how many of you have seen Netflix? You know non-stop for so it's possible and and and to some extent You know a lot of people maybe do that so but it's that's where it's it's your responsibility as an individual to figure out This is a tool how best to use it when to use it how often to use it Maybe I'm not the best judge when it comes to the iPhone because my wife has a series of photographs From the most beautiful places in the world all over the world of Iran doing this And now it's become a running joke everywhere we go we do it, but she doesn't have to ask me I you know it just happens But yes, I mean social media can can be quote addictive it can be you know very Engaging and entertaining and and but you've got to Decide how much and and how does it fit into your values and how does it fit into your life? There's no it's not anything destructive in the iPhone. It's us. It's how we do it and how we use it and It takes some maturity to do that and we have to think about for kids You really have to think about how much time and what kind of electronic media and what kind of engagement you want them to have And how you can help them build Good habits around this but that was true of television and it'll be true of the technology in the future This is always going to be a challenge. So I Don't I don't blame I I don't blame my iPhone for my misuse of it, you know, sometimes It's me and it's on every one of you and it's people have to take responsibility over how they use these things But but these are but let's not lose sight of the upside and the wonder and I've often You know all the different things that something like an iPhone provides to us and and there's more to come right there's more to come in terms of these kind of products and these kind of innovations that is is is are truly wondrous and that we as believers in progress and Personal responsibility the deeper sense of the term We should be at the forefront of advocating for them. It's like CRISPR. Yes, you could use CRISPR for bad things But if we don't defend the technology like that who is going to so we need to be really enthused in defending these technologies and defending the scientists behind them and And maybe helping teach people how to be responsible for their own lives.
