Going to be another one of those threads where we find out how many FReepers are overly obsessed with someone else's business.

Being retired we often entertain friends and neighbors as we have the time and enjoyed the constant flow of both drop ins and invited guests. We have started to avoid some of them because of their addiction to texting and the constant monitoring of their devices during what should be conversation and interaction. Why else would they be visiting?

Some of them are so addicted that they won’t even respond to their name being called out when they are so absorbed in concentrating on their device. These are retired folks mostly. I’m sure kids are even worse.
