That sounds awful! Adults are reaching that point, I've noticed. Completely tethered to their phones and unwilling to spend time away from it. It is so irritating.
I know I'm constantly knitting, which is a distraction, but at least I have the ability to focus on the moment. I wonder what our society will look like in 10 years when all the kids now are already glued to their devices. Hazel's friends mostly have phones and it is irritating to me. they are 10. They don't ride the city bus, they are in an affluent area. What am I missing here? I actually rode the city bus through high school and college and I still didn't get a cell phone till I was 18 (and I didn't want it anyway, although it did make talking to boys easier)
