Agree 100%. this is how bad it's gotten: I work with a bunch of younger guys who ALWAYS are looking at their phones while at work. At lunch in our kitchen, there'll be a bunch of us eating lunch and just talking. Someone might mention something they heard on the news or something else, just typical lunch time talk, and next thing you know, someone will have googled it or looked up something more about it or found something to contradict it. Sometimes it'll be 2 or 3 guys racing to see who can find stuff first. If we're going out to lunch walking through a parking lot, someone might say, "Looks like a hot one today" and a couple of guys will bring up the weather on their phone and announce "it's 85 now". Duh!
I get text messages on my phone or computer from guys 5 feet away in another cubicle. I usually just turn around and answer them in person. When people ask me how I like my iPhone, I say, "It rings, I answer it". I don't text or surf on it, I use it so my customers can reach me or I can reach them or my suppliers. Short, quick conversations. Minimal use while driving. On the road, I usually let calls go to voicemail and check it when I reach my destination. I've even been in the men's room at work with a guy in the next stall yakking away.
Facebook is just another dumb extension of it. I'm friends with a couple who will take pix of their commute, discuss every minute detail of their lives ("darn, the lines at Starbucks are long today") ad nauseum. I post on FB maybe 1 or twice a week to my kids who live out of state. Usually pix of the dogs, horse or something like that.
the technology is great, but people today are addicted to it, and that applies especially to the online video gaming.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
