Have you noticed how people just pull their phones out and start scrolling through stuff in the middle of a conversation, group activity, or even a dinner date now? It's kinda startling.

They seem to really struggle to focus on just one thing for any length of time without losing interest, even if that thing is just... interacting with another person.

It's depressing to watch, and often pretty rude :-(

Yeah, call me old fashioned but that's pretty damn rude
