what screens were doing to me
šta ekrani rade meni,
of screens on our lives.
on how much time they take from us,
na to koliko nam vremena oduzimaju,
o tome kako to vreme izgleda.
what that time looks like.
is the average 24-hour workday
prosečan radni dan od 24 časa
actually, only last week.
zapravo, tek prošle nedelje.

dok ih koriste i kažete:
they're using them and say,
vezano za te aplikacije -
about these apps --
exercise, weather, reading,
vežbanje, vreme, čitanje,
minutes a day on each of these.
dnevno na svaku od njih.
mnogo manje srećnim.
i kažete: „Kako se osećate?“,
them and say, "How do you feel?"
u vezi sa njihovim korišćenjem.
pretraživanje interneta -
na svakoj od njih.
on each of these.
on the apps that don't make us happy.

whether you want to continue.
na kraju bi se ona završila
eventually the show would end,
until the next one came.

kod kuće u našem životu,
at home in our own lives,
I'm going to not use my phone.
nećete koristiti telefon.
izgledaju drugačije različitim danima.
looks different on different days.
that happen every day,

at resisting temptation.

recimo, predivnih prizora okeana
that's the easy thing to do --
to je lako uraditi -
to move the car to the side of the road,
da pomerite auto na stranu puta,
under your feet,
and more meaningful
your phone in the car.
