Yeah the older phones make texting a bit slower.

Yes, yes and yes.
Oh what a picture! I went to my mother’s home last Saturday for teatime (as English people say). Oh my god! My brother-in-law with his phone. My mother’s partner with the TV on. I didn’t see the time to go off.
My nephew and my niece, when they came to my apartment, we have a nice time. We talk about different things, we joke and play with the doggies or another game.

I have lots of arguments with my partner because he’s most of the time, thinking about what video or pic he’s gonna post on Instagram. I don’t find any sense in doing so at all. So, we are arguing about it all the time. I admit his dedication to online stuff has been giving us lots of problems for a long time.
Many times it feels as if I were talking to the wall. And it’s not funny at all.
Then, if I reply to a message by a friend, he gets angry and jealousy. When, indeed, I always put a time apart to be online and I avoid it interfere with our time.

Slightly off topic, another thing that annoys me is people walking along texting or reading their phones. Out for just over an hour yesterday and nearly collided with three people because they weren't watching where they were going.
Thanks for this!

Wow some people are truly hypocritical. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Enough people go absent-mind when walking (I sometimes have to be very cautious for anyone step on my doggies), add it them now the phones.

Maybe, these people who are all the time on the phone are very sociable and I can’t understand them because I’m introvert, and as you can be in contact and socialise with many people on the phone moving one single finger...but I wonder at to what point this is healthy to be behind a screen for so long.

Thus, it’s pretty dangerous. You have to cross roads, the lady with her baby in the trolley, the old person with a chair, cross bike ways and on and on.

Yeah there is a point where it gets to be unhealthy and dangerous.
