Hollywood star George Clooney is a technophobe and gets frustrated by people who film all their experiences on their phones.

The 54-year-old actor is dismayed by the obsession with technology in modern society and was left shocked when he met American President Barack Obama and watched everyone else who shook the leader’s hand filming their meeting on smart device, reported the Washington Post.

Speaking at the “Tomorrowland” press conference in London on Monday (18.05.15), Clooney said, “I was at an event with the president a few years ago and everyone was shaking hands with their phones filming him, they can’t say they met the president, they can only say they filmed him.

“You see the concerts down too and people are losing a little bit of their living and their life because they are just stood filming the concert rather than enjoying it. I hope would hope we would become a little bit less in love with technology. Bring back face to face conversations, my vision for the future is bringing back letter writing,” he said.

New Disney movie “Tomorrowland” also stars Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson and Raffey Cassidy and the movie is scheduled for release on May 22.
