Phone do have their use, but when you see kids totally glued to them it is sad. The sense of FOMO must be horrendous for them to live with.
I was in a restaurant a couple of weeks ago, the table next to us, I presumed it was a typical family. The father had a phone that was no more than 8 inches from his face the majority of the time, even when eating. It was also the same with the wife, the son and daughter, all 4 of them spent the entire of their time looking at their phones with hardly any interaction with each other. If that's what they are like during 'family' time-out I'd hate to think what it's like at home.
