I was just talking about this last night... I was at a restaurant and everybody was just looking down at their cell phones, and I was like "remember back in the day when people used to actually TALK to each other?"... it seems like everywhere you go teens are staring at their phones, I don't see what's wrong with having a nice phone and text messaging, calling, and even playing games and such... but it's become a competition to have the best of the best phone, and so when a young person gets one they "show it off" by not showing it to others, but using it in FRONT of them. I also think that when a person is younger and they get a phone they think it makes them look more mature, and so they use it in front of people (whether consciously or subconsciously) and thus achieve the opposite of what they want, being as they look immature constantly playing on their phones.
