    The one thing that really makes me sad about common cellphone usage is the lack of face-to-face connection. It’s a trip because I went through middle and high-school without smart phones, everyone did. I miss those regular, everyday connections with people.

    Those that haven’t gown up a significant amount of time without smartphones don’t think the difference is that severe, or that the connections we’ve replaced them with are the same or superior, but it just… isn’t.

      Is it really the phones or is it just that connecting to people after high school gets harder?

        Both. It makes it easier to keep in touch technically, but whether or not they are responsive is a whole other story.
