Not atall, atall............I look at my grandson, whoz on his phone all the time, but he still chats, has fun, plays football, communicates......chats more than me actually. And that's what I see around me when I look at the kids......they can multi-task. They're quite aware of what's going on around them. They still know how to go out and have fun....but want to keep their acquaintances informed of what they're up to. Or play games with those who are interested in the games they wanna play.
Personally......I love my smartphone, but it never takes the place of eye to eye contact with my friends. Fortunately, over the years, I've made a lot of them and technology helps me to keep in touch with some of them.
