That's it.
I have had young kids almost walk into me, cause they have their nose buried in a phone screen, and I have seen very young, 5 or 6 year olds doing it as well. Parents use the damn things to pacify kids while they’re shopping!🤬
We were in a restaurant and a father with his 15 year old son were across from us.
Neither ever looked at eachother let alone spoke to eachother!
I’m glad I was raised without them. I think many kids lack social skills such as conversation because of them. I bet there’s a special place in hell for the people who designed the things!
