The kids are going to be alright. They grew up with phones and learned in schools that there are times when it’s inappropriate to use it.
I’m much more worried about the older people who have absolutely no etiquette for phone usage.
When my teenager has friends over they literally stack their phones and do whatever they met up to do.
When the grandparents come over they sit and fiddle candy crush and Facebook like their life depended on it.
“One startup from the Netherlands is trying to accommodate them by organizing offline meetups.”
OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO FUCKING CAPITALIZE “NOT USING YOUR PHONE” AND MEETING REAL PEOPLE
FUCK THIS EXISTANCE
“meeting real people” has been subject to capitalism since the first enterprising individual opened a pub … a couple thousand years ago.
Can you explain to me what you think capitalism is?
