Facebook, Internet and Family Time
Was at a local restaurant this past weekend, and at the table next to our family was a mother with two young children (about 5 and 7, boy and girl). The mother held her cell phone in her hand the entire time they were eating, and yelled and spoke to her kids in anger whenever they wanted to talk to her, while she busily tapped the cell phone the entire time, ignoring the efforts from her children to have her focus and attention.
Has anyone else noticed this? I see this so much now, and to me it is so sad. I've been in restaurants where a family sits together, and the parents tap the cell phone the entire time, and barely speak to the family, but their whole concentration is on their phone.
Does anyone have concerns about how the whole facebook/twitter thing is working to destroy our families one at a time?
It seems to me that it is an addiction that is spinning out of control. Has anyone else noticed this?
