Brief Explanation

Every month, the world spends 4 million years online. In our region that’s 3 to 4 hours per person a day. And with the world’s highest smart phone penetration comes a very high mobile internet usage. 18-34 year olds check their phone every 9 minutes and feel naked when they leave the house without it. This addiction is leading to a society that is less and less capable of living in the moment. Coca-Cola wanted to remind the world about something beautiful, which we have almost forgotten about: an undistracted, real moment shared with family and friends. To solve this problem, we created The Social Media Guard. It takes the social out of media and puts it back into life. A quirky device that prevents you from using your phone when you’re with someone else and a reminder for everyone to be more present in the moment.
