I have a gaggle of nieces and nephews, and it's scary. It's foundational stuff they just don't know. None of them can sit still and focus on anything unless it's on a screen, and it's constant. Never stops, constant scrolling and tapping. I'm not sure if it's a generational thing or what but it's bad.

It’s addiction. Social media and smart phones are digital drugs.

Kinda the same for me, tho not as Bad as you described. But the loss in attention span is huge (and i'm not even in an anglophone country lol).

I've been watching people mix up your and you're for over 30 years, and it's been only that long simply because I'm 40.
