I went to a family reunion recently. At the dinner table, everyone over 40 was conversing. But everyone under 40 was glued to their cell phones. I guess that’s the new normal.
But it’s a damn shame. Some of the folks at that table were quite old. And they had some interesting things to say. But the younger folks never heard them.
I do believe it is a real problem.
My wife and I went to a Hotel for a bit recently and when I went to breakfast in the lobby, there was a family of four and all of them were surfing or texting.
I think it s a big problem, we don’t understand the long-reaching effects of this odd change in our behavior. I think it is very damaging.
