As for your rant about the young crowd and smart phones - you are 100% correct! The phone takes priority over everything - no matter where they are or who they are talking to!

I have also read that the average age for first time having sex has been going UP - and I suspect a lot of that is the easy access to porn on their phones and the lack of need for human contact and interaction as you mention.

Not just the internet- These SmartPhones too.
Today, it amazes me how casually rude the younger crowd is. Its becoming almost standard behavior. They believe they deserve a great deal of 'respect' and entitled to a lot. At the same time they don't seem to think they need to respect anyone. The in-person interactions are instantly dismissed by a bing on their smartphone. Even a stray thought during interaction causes them to whip out the phone, and put who they are with, on hold. Then there is a lot of chatter while saying next to nothing.
I work with a lot of 17-20somethings and it regularly surprises me their poor command of basic English/basic math/basic history/basic biology., and yet they supposedly did (or do) well in school.
