grown-ups can't put the phone down

In this day and age parents use their phones while their children vie for attention, this is becoming more and more of a problem. Researchers observed 55 caregivers with young children at fast-food restaurants in the metropolitan Boston area. Out of the 55 observed, 40 caregivers (73%) used devices at some point during the meal. Nearly 30% used the device almost continuously throughout the meal, only briefly putting it down. This is so sad because more adults are getting heavier into social media and this is even more distracting, I'm really glad i grew up when my mother didnt have a smart phone and they werent very popular, im also sick of people saying they need them for the camera, hello that's what digital cameras are for.. more convenient and less of a risk if you break it. i often see people come into my work pushing a stroller and still on their phone non stop, its actually worse than most teenagers.
