Cell phones are baby sitters at the end of the tables when adults gather....

And many adults are now the same way! Isee parents ignoring their children. Missing precious bonding moments.

It's just not a good idea to catch a call when there's a guest at the table with you....

Smarter phones, but less informed people. Weird dichotomy.

Next, they'll be loading a common "Grace Before Meals" prayer on everyone's phone, so they can all pray grace together...

All of this technology, and they can barely read or write, handle a basic conversation, or deal with reality. They are techno-barbarians. Their socialist handlers have them exactly where they want them - mindlessly joined to the Borg Cube.

I hear this increasingly from employers— the newest entries to the workforce just don’t know how to DO anything useful. And, they are devoid of work ethic. They really do seem to think they are entitled to an easy life without earning it.

"...shorter attention span and impairs memory..."
Was discussing this on another thread.
Contemporary kids cannot remember how to reach places a few miles away. Even after repeatedly traveling a route.
They must type an address into Google Maps to be guided with turn-by-turn directions each time.

If they are glued to their phones who is doing anything interesting enough to care about seeing or reading about on the phone? With no real interests how can they relate to or care about much of anything. Surely they get bored with themselves.
