One lady dropped her phone and said. "OMG, if that broke, I mean that's your whole LIFE!". My friend turned and told her she didn't have a phone - and they all looked at her like she was from Mars, truly.
She journaled everything instead. And took nice photos with a camera. I wager my friend will have way better deathbed memories rather than screen after screen after screen flashing through their empty heads.
Hey, I saw it all starting in 2010 in China..when we were approaching the Great Wall..and some of the people wouldn't look up from their "phone" to see it. I knew then this whole "social" media stuff would only make everything worse and was made fun of on these boards. I still believe I was proven right, no one will ever convince me otherwise.
Glad I am "old" and got to live my prime years without that crap.

Just the selfies and staged photos blows my damn mind. Friend of mine went on a family trip to Europe and included their son’s gf (both 24). The sheer amount of photos required (and it wasn’t just the gf but damn near every other 20-30 something) needing thousands of photos in very particular poses in front of not only the typically important historic markers but in front of LV or Tiffany’s or Cartier or the stairway of a restaurant.Many with what seemed to be hired photographers. Complete insanity. Previous Message
. . . batshit crazy. Emotionally stunted. No coping skills. No ability to reason. Reflexively scared and angry. Perpetually frustrated. Addicted to their victimization fetishes. Always blaming someone else for anything less than ideal in their lives. Desperate for constant affirmation.
I have no idea what has caused this widespread problem. But I heard a brief radio segment this morning that maybe explains things, at least to some degree. Handing out cell phones to young girls still in grade school and junior high significantly increases the incidence of all kinds of emotional and behavioral problems. Multiple studies out there for many years documenting this reality.
