As someone who tries to stay off their phone in social situations I’d stay that yes, this applies to people the age of my parents aswell but not exclusively. Almost everyone is like this. A ton of people seem to think they can keep up a conversation while doing stuff on their phones. I’ve yet to meet anyone who actually can.
Pre-smartphones, my parents were always yelling at my brothers and I to stop texting at the dinner table.
Post-smartphones, it’s now vice-versa and unless we remind them to put their phones on silent beforehand, their phones inevitably erupt in alarms at full volume reminding them to call Marianne back or whatever
I don’t see what’s so enticing about social media. I recently made an Instagram account but even then haven’t touched it all (10 minutes maybe every other day). For me it’s just a whole bunch of messaging to a friend
And yet here you are.
I’m barely on here to begin with. I downloaded Instagram recently (2-3 weeks ago) to message someone I knew and I barely go on it
90% of the time when I see someone swerving in traffic because they’re blatantly staring at their phone, it’s somebody 50+ years old
Funny it is always young people when I see it happen. We can confirmation bias together.
Funny it is always confirmation bias when I see it happen
Everything is confirmation bias, except when it isn’t!
You may slap me.
