@GoldenRivet I agree with a lot of what you. I've seen plenty of it myself everywhere but no more so then at work. I had to tell on guy I work with about three times, "If you want to get out of here at 10 tonight put the phone away and pick up the pace." Then when he thought I wasn't looking he'd take the phone out and do it again, and that was just tonight.
Another instance was when some family friends came down from the Northwest for a visit and one of the kids might of well had his face glued to the monitor of his cellphone, and rather would of played candy crush then go swimming in the pool. I could see that a couple of generations down the road will be called "Generation Duh" at the rate things are going.
