I went to a city park today and I actually couldn't find a single person not looking at their phone. Every person on the walkway was looking down on their phone, so bad that you had to dodge them (they would walk into you and then get indignant if you didn't). People with their kids on phones, people with their partners on phones, people with their dog leash in one hand and a phone in the other not paying attention to their dog who is poking their noses into other people, who aren't even paying attention because they're in their phones. People on picnic blankets on phones, people sitting in the seats reserved for the scenic reservoir view while looking down at their phones.
I felt so weird. This isn't one of those boomer posts but it's weird to think about people choosing to go into nature just to keep on their phone. I specifically want to look around and enjoy the day when I go out. Why do people even bother getting the fresh air if they're just in the same four apps all day?
