[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see so many children seemingly addicted to phones/ipads. They can’t watch their sibling’s basketball game… they can’t look out the window for a 20 min train ride or interact with their parents or siblings… I guess they get “bored” and can’t bear to be alone with their thoughts so they need a phone or iPad stuffed in front of them.

No wonder when you look at their parents are no better. Always a phone in their face, scrolling, scrolling. Stuff a phone in front of junior so senior can get his fill of TikTok for the day.

You can flame me, you can call me a hypocrite for being on DCUM. But being on my phone for 30 min at night after a full day is very different from having it in my face all day.

Our society is going to ruin with these smartphones. [/quote]

When I grew up, people said the same thing about TV.  [/quote]

I was just going to write that I grew up watching MTV. I’m not sure watching Alicia Silverstone getting her belly button pierced was all that much better. Manu of my friends got tons of piercings when I was a teen. I think teens these days do less drugs and have uber so less drink and driving. I believe that is at least the case in our UMC neighborhood and my kids.[/quote]
