Idiotic Story

Have you ever wondered what was so important that the person who is sitting in front of you cannot put his/her mobile device down for one second? How about when you are in public and someone right in front of you takes up the a bit of the walk space but is not paying attention to what is in front of him/her. Instead he/she is looking his/her mobile device. Why can't people have the courtesy to put aside or step aside? 


It is quite disconcerting to be having a meal with a bunch of friends only to have most of them glued to their mobile devices instead of interacting with each other. It is really downright rude to be invited to a get-together in someone's house, only to find some people sitting in the corner playing with their electronic devices. I can understand if one wants to do a quick check and reply (if it is urgent) but  total devotion to the device (and whoever one is interacting with on the phone) in front of others is just plain rude.

What has technology done to this generation of people?
