Bit off topic, but interesting you say this, because the ugly side of the impact of smartphones (along with social media) goes far beyond just dedicated gaming devices.I swear it´s like so many people, especially the new generation, are slowly forgetting how to even have a decent, face to face interaction with another human being, with a good part of the communication being through Facebook, etc..and so many people spend so much time just staring down at their phones. I see it all the time, every day...in restaurants, tables with 10 people and half of them are just hypnotized by their phones, at family/friends gatherings, same thing, and so on. |
Once my current phone is paid off, I'm downgrading to a basic talk/text phone for this exact reason. Smartphones are super convenient but it's gotten to the point where they are TOO convenient, I find myself on my phone way more than I should doing pointless things when there are better and more important things I could be doing.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
