It has destroyed something in society.
People become annoyed if you try to communciate and they are viewing their phones.
AND I see people crossing the busy street looking down.
Not good.
Don't get me wrong-when I am old and can't get out of wherever I am living and interact in society, having a computer based option to interact is at least something. Self-driving cars, for the day (when it comes) that I cannot drive is okay with me. (Although I admit that I view self-driving cars in much the same way I view death...it isn't death itself that bothers me, it is how I get there that does!)
