Is your cellphone addiction making you unsociable?

It’s ironic that after all the hullabaloo about teens being addicted to their screens, their parents have fallen victim to this social malaise too!
On a weekend trip, a friend raised the issue with her spouse who was frequently checking his phone. For a change, the teenagers were happily engaged in activities or conversations with the rest of the group. The adults, on the other hand, were constantly peeking at their mobiles.
At every social gathering, I’ve observed friends constantly fiddling with their smartphones. It’s like an extension of their bodies. Or a comfort blanket, perhaps! Whether it is checking messages, forwarding photos and jokes to friends, or clicking selfies—they just can’t put the phones down.
