The whole staring at your phone thing really hit me this past week. I spent the week with my 9yr old at Disney. At night we'd leave the park and get on the bus to get back to the hotel. Well over half the people would sit down and get out their phone for the entire trip. This one family of four really jumped out at me. Mom, dad and the two kids (around 12 and 15) got on, sat down and all took out their phones. For the 20 minute trip they never looked up or said one word to each other.
That Einstein quote is correct. Human interaction is going away. My wife won't even answer her phone and is irate if call her instead of text her. She won't even listen to her messages. She sees I called and texts back what did you want. I respond, did you listen to the message where I told you what I want? She always says no so I'm at the point that I no longer bother even leaving them.
