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. |
Yeah it is what it is the world has definitely changed. Even in my circle of friends I have a buddy who's terrible for this, during a 2 hour dinner/drinks he'll maybe look up from his phone for a total of 15 minutes.
Teenagers ... are the worst though I think. Christmas dinner, all the teens are just staring down at their phone the whole time.
