Oh, oh my gosh Oh my God Oh my God One, two, three, four, five, six, seven One Two Someday my prince will come Follow me on Snapchat, you know Instagram @kayciblu K-A-Y-C-I-B-L-U Oh my god Oh no Stop. Texting. Me. Damn. I never knew it was so… tempting, like usually it’s on demand, you can do it whenever you want, but… I just have to look at it I feel relaxed, just… You know… Ignoring everything Just being like in the present Even though I’m not doing anything Feels good Calls, news, Snapchat Text, text, text
This challenge is so easy like take a nap fam. SMH
Meditation my dudes. Just close your eyes and relax. That's how I'd do it.
I’d just daydream the hell out of those 20 minutes. I’d have a blast just imagining myself adopting 20 dogs.
Or just singing out loud.
This is wrong on so many levels… Like come on, it's not that hard… Some of them are exaggerating… It gives a so bad image of us teens like wtf…
I'm a 90s baby. I don't understand them
my moms taking my technology away for a year and giving me a bedtime on weekends
This would be easy for me cause I didn't have a phone at a young age and when I did get one I would always lose it
My phone definitely wouldn't have went off at all
i would be thinking of dogs lmao. 20 mins feels like 1 second for me. how are these kids so like- addicted.
I'd sleep lmao
I would probably just think about my crush and make the time fly without even knowing it
Me: Starts throwing phone up in the air and trying to catch it
WOW. Just wow I have no hope for humanity. ?
This is so easy. I would just walk around the room and play with every camera and equipment. Is that allowed though?
As a teen I am offended I’m not on my phone that much lol?
if the word boomer was a video
did they have a life before cellphones?
Not trying to say anything here lol but I literally turn off my notifications because I hate responding to people (apart from important notifications e.g. family). Anyone else do the same?
They're not addicted, you gave them nothing else to do
I would spend that 20 mns sleeping lmao
I would just sing and dance the whole time
Only one of those kids is actually normal
How about put two teens in the same room and not let them use their phones or entertainment, just sitting there with each other
Would be more interesting if they didn't know each other
That girl was hilarious. She's the only one with imagination
Id literally take a nap. Im tired like 24/7 so this would be an ez win.
Someday my prince will come.
Dude, I would just sleep lmao
and this is why ppl say teens are addicted to their phones. it's only 20 mins! I would sit and daydream or take a nap and I'm a teen!
damn such boring kids lol is there nothing going on in your heads?
I feel like a dinosaur…. I'd have no problem with not looking at my phone for 20 minutes. XD B/c no one texts me!!
they´re literally left alone in a big studio?! i would run around, eXpLOrE everything and search for the cameras and look deep into them and then spit on them lol.
Okay I´m not denying the fact that our generation is fully influenced by social media. I`m truly aware of it. I also find this experiment really interesting showing how much we are paralyzed by the newest technology. But I would actually change the experiment slightly. Like what can you possibly do in an empty room? If the experiment was like in a normal environment you can easily make some productive activities like spending time with friends, going for a walk or just even drawing. The empty and for us strange room is limiting the possibility of things we might actually do if we would put our phones away. Apart from this point I still find it really scary how we are (ofc me included) traped by modern technology. Overall a really good video to face the sad truth.
Such a —– experiment…
How about for a whole day? I'd take a nap, paint, do a puzzle, go on a walk. I'm drummer hands boy, nothing ?.
It's not that important…
3:14 where did they come from?!?
I would just sleep?
I have done it for a week lol CAMPINGG!!
I would keep the phone face up just in case it was an emergency call
that guy in the white shirt and crutches was so funny
I’d prob just take a nap
I feel like it so much easier to put your phone down when you don’t have to than when you have to
I have to stay away from it for 45 minutes x7.
We are calling this school or Hell ¯_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽_/¯
The reactions are only because there is a camera in front of them. Most teens won’t have a problem just sitting down for legit 20 minutes. This video is also overreacting and using actors. Am I the only one who notices this?
You could at least give them something else to do, for me it would be reading a book. I don't have my phone during school. When I get home I try to not use my phone for a few hours too.
tbh, i prob would have just talked to the camera as if it was another person HAHA
Seems easy to do
I could do this no problem
havent use my phone for 2 weeks. not proud of it bcs here i am using pc 😛
This is what we should put criminals through instead of the death penalty
This isn’t really much of a social experiment because like I bet if u put these kids in an actual social situation with friends or so they would have no problem whatsoever
Putting your phone on flight mode is soooo peaceful
Bro this was so set up. The one kid sat and stared in one direction the whole time. Like, are u really that dependent on your phone there is no way this is true
If I was there I’d just start messing with the studio stuff ?
I’m 12 and looking at this is honestly sad
that one guy is cute hahaha
I always leave my phone sitting somewhere and when I need it I've been distracted and don't know where it is
i get 150+ noti from youtube a day lol
this seems so unrealistic, literally almost every person I know can easily resist their phone it’s not even that serious…. this is basically telling them do nothing on this couch in a empty space and we’ll make you look like you can’t live without your phone to make old people mad at teens ! the challenge was just sit in boredom and we’ll do the editing
I'd probably just sleep-
Literally a bunch of things you can do….
– try holding your breath for a long time
-sing
-try to do the splits
-do some type of workout
-count numbers
-sleep
-dream
-stretch
-think of funny stuff
– braid hair
-crack knuckles/neck
-try hitting high/low singing notes
The list goes on, I’m phone addicted and could survive and hour or so, but then again I never get texts??
I would just lie down on the couch and lose myself in my own world of imagination
I would practice my cheer routine 2:30minutes long for 8 consecutives times or 9 just so I would pass the 20minute mark.
If I was there i would either:
-start sleeping
-start daydreaming or thinking of stuff
-start a disco
-ask if they have food, if so eat
Who else would deadass drop their phone, turn the other way, hug the couch and sleep
Most funny thing is "" phone has been invented to save time""?
glad they picked teens who seemed to be very social and not very social.
I'd just sleep tbh
Jubilee: teens cant resist phones
Also jubilee: posts on youtube
Love the salty teens in the comments
cant believe no one went for the 20 min nap
I swear I don’t do this am I the one??
I would have 0 notifications
If I would be in an empty studio I would be exploring for like 2 hours
They chose the very rare kids who are literally addicted to their phone. 98% of kids have no problem putting their phone down.
My phone's always on silent
Me in this studio. Starts singing…
"i'M Xx YearS OLD AnD I w0UlD jUsT [insert normal activity here]"
Guys you need to chill. These teens are most likely edited out of a larger group to look as if all teens are "soo addicted to their phones they can't live without them for one second"… you aren't weird and quirky if you have things you can do when you have no entertainment, you're normal. I'm not saying you shouldn't comment what you'd do, I really don't care, I'm just saying that before commenting something you'd do and how old you are, maybe take into consideration the fact that this one video of a few teenagers sitting in an empty, silent studio in front of a camera while their phones buzz an unnatural (possibly faked) amount isn't the full picture.
Not everything is as it seems.
1. They aren't allowed to walk around the room
2. They can't sleep (which means closing eyes is out of the question too)
3. They most likely don't have a lot of notifications, just the producers purposefully calling and texting them.
Who knows what else went into this behind the scenes. At the end of the day, this video was made as entertainment. Someone staring into space is not entertainment, so I wouldn't be surprised if the producers arranged something to keep the teens from doing that, too.
Heck, even the title's slightly condescending tone shows the producers had no intentions of making this realistic.
As a teen I genuinely think I'd be able to do this, like, yes I do use my phone more than i should but when i have to stop, i could easily survive without it, i feel like people overexagarate teens with there phones
If I was doing this you guys would hear no notifications going off while I’m taking a nap??
I can literally put my phone down for weeks and I won't be bored at all.
I'm watching the video and I'm just jealous….do you guys see how many notifications they got!!???? I get like ONE a WEEK. If anything, this video just made me feel bad about my self lol
I would just fall asleep
These teens are freakin dying??
This is completely believable to me. It's easy to say that if you were in that position, you could do it no problem, but I wonder about that. Even if they have something to do, if it's not what they want to do, it would have the same effect of just sitting and doing nothing.
Why are the girls in this video making teens look bad like just act like a normal person stop exercising its legit only 20 mins even after the 20 mins like dude u don't need to pick up your phone and frantically text your not an addict.
I would be dancing randomly and singing loudly if I was in that situation ?
This is really really sad people are so addicted
IPAD GANG
With a sweet ass couch that comfy and a circle of friends comprised of 3-ish people, this challenge would be a breeze for me.
Would anyone else just got to sleep lol
7 teens get put in a sensory deprivation room for a day with no entertainment AT ALL…
They’d die.
Me : 0 notifications
Them : messege, calls, sosial medias and so on…..
Ok boomer
STOP?TEXTING?ME
Me, a depressed guy: literally thinks about life and many other deep stuffs, end up being there for hours…
It's not that hard to not be on your phone. I could do this and not care. You know why? Because I have my scenarios in my head to keep me busy???
It’s only 20 mins, that’s easy. Just take a nap and put your phone on aeroplane mode (I don’t think they were allowed this though so I would just opt to sing, dance or attempt to workout!)
I would be running around exploring the studio lol and just like being a weird crackhead
I would probably go to sleep, becouse this sofa looks quite comfortable. ?
