Some places it seems like the whole friggin’ populace has their nose in a mobile phone.

I spent most of today sitting in the waiting area of an emergency room. Yes, I received and sent a few texts to family members with any news about what was going on (and, okay, I checked FR once), but mostly I (tried to) read a hardcover book I brought.

Everyone else there was constantly and unceasingly glued to their mobile devices. With the sound on, watching video, playing games...and these were all adults. One guy took a few seconds to close/finish/end his game after his obviously painstricken lady friend's name was called to go inside. Then he got up and helped her in.

So, if they didn’t bring a hardcover book, they should’ve just stared at the walls? Would that have gained your approval?
