Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me
Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak
yep, TV isn't in your pocket 24/7 with a magnetic draw to your attention span, where every moment you aren't watching TV you feel a slight pressure at the back of your mind, like a fixation, to view it right now
I can tell you that even TV-hooked older millennials (and younger Xers) that were at my earlier D&D tabletop games had a steep drop in attention span, even at the table, when smartphones started becoming commonly used. Night and day difference and it took years for some of them to decided they could turn the damn things off at least for a little while to play.
