I have seen it differently in public settings on a daily basis elsewhere though.

I have gone to restaurants and have seen children and adults alike, seated together and not talking with one another but rather have their faces buried in their phones. The phone themselves can be dangerous from the microwave radiation they emit. Further, I have seen people almost get hit by cars because they walked through a busy intersection and never looked up from their phones.
Like John / Golden Rivet said, technology has a way of connecting people and is also ironically creating a class of people disconnected from society and one another.
Good article John.
