Funny Skit Highlights Our Dependence on Saved Contacts

A funny skit highlights our dependence on the contacts saved on our phones. Many people struggle to remember and know current phone numbers these days. Watch the short but hysterical sketch, which makes this point painfully obvious.

Many technological advancements have improved our lives in various ways. From advances in the medical field to our vehicles and the appliances in our kitchen, nearly every aspect of our lives is impacted by technology. That’s always a good thing, right?

Well, not 100 percent of the time. Technology has made people lazy and reliant upon that technology. Think about the madness and insanity that occurs when the internet goes down, even for a few minutes, at the office or home. Everything comes crashing to a standstill. People have forgotten how to function in a world without technology.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how our reliance on technology has impacted how we think and left us unable to remember even a simple sequence of numbers. A woman is asked a series of questions about herself and her family, ranging from things about her children to a favorite song.

She answers each question with much excitement and enthusiasm, often giving her answer even before the question is finished. As she continues correctly answering questions, she wins more and more money. She is going to win the $1 million prize easily, right?

Well, not so fast. The game show host then asks her a question that leaves her stumped.

“OK, Kim, for $1 million, what is your daughter’s phone number?” the host asks.

Hilariously, her first instinct is to ask Siri for that information. She is quickly informed that asking the iPhone assistant for help is strictly against the rules. She will have to do this one on her own.

She tries to give the number, but it does not go well. She fails to capture the faux $1 million prize.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
