people rely on there phones as a form of entertainent, and I can see how that is bad, but I dont think it is directly hindering their ability to speak to people.
It really is strange time because people have two identities - their actual one and their social media one.
Whereas in the past it was important to protect your reputation and your good name, now you see people walking around in sweatpants while posting/erasing/re-taking/editing one photo of themselves eating spaghetti until it's absolutely perfect
On the flip side, standing behind a 40-50 year old at Best Buy or Cox who doesn't know what WiFi is is absolutely brutal. Of course when you make this point you get asked "yeah but can you balance a checkbook ledger!?"

Yesterday morning, I'd have thought this person above was a unicorn. What 40 y/o Gen X-er doesn't know what Wifi is?
Then yesterday, I (late Gen X) saw a guy talking on his phone using his horseshoe / cow-lead ring / necklace headphone thingy. I've seen people wearing these ugly arse things around for a while, but always figured they were headphones to listen to music from your phone, that you put them on like headphones. I found it hard to imagine caring about music that much that you needed to listen to it at a moment's notice all the time. I had no idea they were to talk and hear calls thru also, or that they had an earpiece.
I turned and blurted this comment out to the Baby Boomer gentleman behind me in line. He kind of smiled this pitying, bemused smile at me. Then again, it's entirely possible he couldn't hear me & had no idea what I was talking about.
