Driving past a school the other day this is what I saw re the kids waiting for the bus/to be picked up
None of them were talking to each other. Just staring at their phones. Just seemed sad.
Went to the movies the other day. Two women in their 60s were regularly lighting up the row by reading text messages and their message tones kept going off throughout. When the movie ended and me and my friend were discussing what we thought of it, those two just sat silently playing with their phones.
I’m regularly almost side swiped driving by soccer mums my age (late 30s) looking at their phones rather than the road, with a bunch of kids in the back, all on their phones.
They’re important devices and critical for the world we live in. But it’s not healthy to be indifferent to the world around you while you stare at these rectangles, all the time.
It’s not just one generation. The boomers are shocking. But we’re letting down alpha.
