If real people want real people, then why is everyone at the coffee shop, on the train, at parties, and even at the dinner table all looking at their phones? Not all the time, but way too much of the time, imo.

This is very different from what I see.

At coffee shops and on trains, sure, people are working or on their phones. But at dinner and parties, at bars and climbing gym and dances, we're there to be there with each other.

Maybe a cultural difference between where you are and where I am?

But then again, they are mostly looking at images and videos of other people, right?

Because using internet is an addiction.
