What is comical is how many yoots walk and look into gadgets without making eye contact. They stumble into other people or even brush objects. So focused on the “LOL, OMG” or playing solitaire as they stroll while holding a handheld device but have little common sense or courtesy.

LOL - so true. There is a guy at the office here (from another company) that walks around and always has an e-reader in his hand. Takes it into the restroom with him. I thought for sure he have to break contact when he washed his hands and he did, but laid it next to the sink and continued to read while he washed/dried hands. And then he was on his way. [My brother and I affectionately call him Kindle]

I had a smartphone for awhile, an HTC. I could even watch YouTube on it. Then I was thinking, “I’ve got a laptop at home, and if I really need a computer on the go, I’ll take it with me. If my boss needs me, she can always call or text me.” So I sold it and bought myself a Nokia 2730c-1, which has Bluetooth, FM radio, MP3, and basic internet connectivity. So much happier.

What I find sad is supposed grown ups texting OMG and LOL. If they’re really laughing out loud at their own statements it proves they’re narcissists.

And believe me, I know a lot of narcissists from GenX on down. It’s all “me” and “It’s not fair”. Clinton taught them well.
