Angela Kinsey of “The Office” talks reality in the digital age

In this day and age, many of us are glued to technology, be it on our cell phones or lap tops.

And one well-known actress is making it her mission to remind parents and kids how important it is to get our hands dirty every once in a while.

KION caught up with Angela Kinsey, aka Angela Martin from the hit tv show “The Office.”

You know her best from the show, and now Kinsey is using her platform to “get real” about how social media has changed the way we live everyday life.

She’s partnered with HP on a campaign called just that…”Get Real.”

“It’s about balancing your digital life with your real life and as a mom that’s really important to me,” says Kinsey. “I try to get my kids off those devices and interacting and being in the moment with me.”

It’s no secret many of us have become addicted to our phones and other technology.

Kinsey is reminding everyone about the benefits of putting down the phones, and spending quality time with the ones we love.

She even has timers set, to set a limit for her own family, reminding them to get outside, and get their hands dirty once in a while.

“When we’re connecting with each other, we’re hearing each other, we’re listening to each other. We’re giving each other ourselves. And I think if you’re on a screen, you’re not getting any of me, right? And I just think that’s so important and I think it just transcends.”​​​​​​​

And if you’re wondering what’s next for the actress….

“My best friend and I Jenna Fischer we have a podcast called Office Ladies, and we are re-watching The Office and telling you our behind the scenes stories, so I am really excited about that and I’m really excited to about this campaign with HP.”
