It is amazing how completely people have adapted to smartphones. You cannot escape friends who are constantly checking their phones and so absorbed they miss everything happening around them. The most painful thing is I am one of those people. Illustration for New York Times Booming column about the annoyance of friends tied to their smartphones. Laura Chang, Editor.
I couldn’t agree more about the overuse of smart phones and the inability of some people to disconnect themselves from them for even a minute. It is very irritating to constantly see people looking down or scrolling through those annoying little illuminated rectangles.
People are missing so much of life and people that are right out there in front of them.
Thank you for your enlightened comments.
