The more you connect, the less you connect!

I think I'll stick with my 36s

I kinda want to hug you because I always get called antisocial for listening to music and if I'm texting everyone demonises my phone and you're the first person to not go into the whole "kids these days spiel" when on this subject.

You can be antisocial, I don't care, I am at times too. But it is something new. Newspapers did make some people antisocial but phones have made all people antisocial. Kids.. 6 year olds have phones and neglect their parents at dinner. Pretty sure they wouldn't be reading a news paper at 6. They would talk and eat their dinner.

That isn't the fault of smartphones specifically. When I was young, if I was in the middle of a particularly absorbing book, I wouldn't put it down for anything, even to eat dinner. Kids ignoring their parents didn't begin with smartphones. And if parents want to converse with their kids, they should make a no phones at the table rule, and they should be interested and involved in their kids' lives.

But phones take a huge part it. It is common to see people absorbed in a book. In conclusion, everyone has been antisocial, its just now that it's growing for the worse.
