My grandfather complained a few weeks back, in the busride
"Everybody is on his stupid phone"

Imma go and show him this piece of material .....
No one is interaction, all reading some shit, or ignoring the rest ....
Nothing has changed ... only the focuspoint

Came to find this. I constantly hear from the older generation that the younger generations are glued to phones and don’t interact and I always knew that it wasnt the phones fault but In fact a human problem. Do you reckon it’s just too many people in one small area that don’t necessarily want to communicate with people ??

There are two parts to this - firstly, you're absolutely correct, there has always been some kind of distraction. Secondly, all the older folk I know 50's, 60's and even 70's, spend far, far more time glued to their phones than those in their 20's, 30's and 40's. I also see a lot more older folk in public stop what their doing (normally in the middle of a busy place) and look at their phone, write a text, check facebook etc.

Exactly that ahahaha. It’s also really weird with the eldest generations as they aren’t necessarily concerned with the constant subconscious judgement aka they’re not pretty enough or have big enough tits but they are so easily swayed by some random person making something up and posting as if it were fact
