Internet/social media addiction is a real thing, apparently, just like alcoholism or drug addiction. It's pretty strange to watch a sporting event on TV and see half the people in the stands looking at the little electronic devices in their hands.
What I couldn't get over was last year my family took my mom out for dinner on Mother's Day, just like lots of families do. We took her to Ruth Chris, so the meal for the four of us was about $200.
There were several other families there, with smaller children or teenagers, and they all texted throughout the meal. The only time they stopped texting was to order food. I saw another couple, no children but she was very pregnant, dressed to the nines, and they were texting each other through out the meal.
No romance, no looking into each others eyes. Made me wonder how the baby was conceived, if you get my drift.
Gosh, I know if I had a date who took me there it would be very romantic. My phone would be in my purse and I wouldn't even think about using it unless there was an accident on the highway.
