I do think that young adults spend too much time on their phones, uh, even though they are really great tools for, uh, communication. Um, they are very engaging, they’re… they pull you in, and they make people… they’re so wrapped up in the phone, and they… lose track of everything else that’s around them. Some examples of this… When you’re walking down the street, it’s really common to see people unaware of traffic and other people on the sidewalk with them. Uh, or, in a restaurant, you might see a group of people, uh, there eating, but really, um, just looking at their phones.
