One thing I find quite horrendous is that people are unable to walk down the street without scrolling on their phone at the same time. I have to keep dodging people on the street because no one is looking where they are going.
I've seen some really socially twisted posts from younger people.
For example: "there was this man on the bus. And he was just looking blankly around the bus and out the window. He wasn't looking at this phone and he was freaking me out. Should I report someone to the police if they are on the bus and not looking at their phone? They could be looking at me for all I know". And they were serious about it.
It worries me what people will be like in a couple of generations.
Nice work and thanks for sharing. I always recommend Cal Newport, especially Digital Minimalism for ways to tame the phone and apps. Sounds like you take a similar approach to Cal.

Oh yeah, thats pretty crazy, but totally believable!
By replacing the bus with plane, you find it ironic!

Ironically never gotten to reading any of his books despite knowing of many of them!
