I use my phone to keep in contact by calling, most people now days are
tethered to their phone. I was at the grocery store in line, and there
was a teenage girl in front of me with her mom. She was having an
anxiety attack as she forgot to take her phone with her. Afraid she
might have missed a text or ping from FB or X or whatever.
In the parking lot, I see people walking to the entrance with their
eyes glued to the phone. Not even watching where they are going. Then
there are the people with the earbud/mic who walk around in the store
talking to themselves while they are trying to pick which Cap'n Crunch
to buy.
I see parents buying phones for 7 year olds. I guess that's where it
starts. Once they see that they can get instant gratification and don't
have to actually 'connect' with anyone - they're off.
Just my 2 cents.
