    They’re mostly just being technophobic, but the boomers are absolutely right that our phones have made us much more isolated from those around us. They’ve also helped people stay connected from great distances, but some people don’t know when to put them down or don’t remember how to socialize. I’ve definitely been one of those people at times.

      Agreed. While I don’t think tech is horrible in every way, I do believe people are over reliant on their phones when they really shouldn’t be. This is coming from someone who hides their screen time report to avoid shame, so I’m not guiltless in this either.

      We are more connected to farther away things while becoming more and more isolated from the things near us. I know people more passionate and informed over issues in a different country than their own local city’s.
