I don't believe so, at all.
It's easier than ever to talk to a friend or family.
It's easier to be in a long-distance relationship today because technology makes it possible to communicate easily for free, everyday.
It's easier to study other cultures with social media.
I find that this whole less human contact thing is just people somehow being unhappy when people are glued to their phones outside.
But come on... we're evolving forward.
Good points. I'm not sure being glued to phones is a good way to move forward though ;) Thanks for the feedback.
It IS a habit that needs to be recognized.
Is it good or bad though? I find that most people conclude that it's bad just because we use it too much.
Classic example: Too many people use their phones in the train all the time. But... give them a break yo. A train ride without a phone is boring.
But yeah, other scenarios like using your phone in a dinner conversation is just rude.
