I recently was forced to spend an entire day with extended family. They talked little and had their faces in their phones 99.999% of the time.

And these are outwardly functional-looking adults in their 30’s and 40’s! I’m pretty sure they’d LOVE this service!

*Rolleyes*

Me and my old-timey flip-phone couldn’t WAIT to get out of the city and back to our farm...where I grow and/or raise a good portion of our groceries.

P.S. And I’m the ‘weirdo’ in the family, LOL!

One of my pet peeves is when I’m dining with or visiting someone and they just look at their phone. My son is about to break up with his longtime girlfriend over her phone. She can’t even tear herself away from her phone to ask how his day was, and she doesn’t care.

This happens everywhere—walking down the street, at restaurants, driving next to someone who is looking at his phone, everywhere! I usually look at them and say: “you need a life beyond your phone.” They always look insulted and rarely respond. While Apple has made billions off the smart phone, it has turned almost everyone into a non-sentient robot, stealing them of their humanity.
