Why spend the money to attend an event when you stare at your phone constantly?

Before I retired from work I noticed how bad it had gotten, at lunch break nobody socialized with each other anymore they were all looking at phones, I was following a school bus yesterday and noticed every stop the kids would get off and be looking at phones as they walked from the bus, it amazed me how bad it has gotten. At the doctor's office now nobody socializes anymore they are all staring at phones. Then I notice I'm just as bad myself now, modern times, I miss the good old days!
