I go to the toilet in the pub and the young lads are reading their phone while weeing into the urinal. Like... wtf?!? People don't allow any time for the brain to think or be at peace. Phones are weird zombification machines.It's practically the only thing I see these days.
One thing that makes me sad for this generation, even though I was an ADHD devil child and got into a whole heap of trouble, is that my parents set an example on how to "wait" growing up. It sort of became a habit over time, but I'll notice even if I'm waiting 84 seconds to get a coffee from the counter at starbucks, I'm usually the only person with their crane not necked down into a phone.
It's nice mindfulness, keeps me away from doomscrolling or uneccessary anxiety from news. It also helped me be a better conversationalist, I like doing that "elderly person chatting up" thing whenever I'm standing near people in lines or waiting on something or a restaurant meal. Kids won't have the patience or the (admittedly painful) lessons that will help them be better going into the future- how will that work out for them?
Says me, writing on my phone.
