It's 2018. Our cell phones have more things to do on them than we could have ever even dreamed about 15 years ago. They are a million things rolled into one. But what else are they?
A distraction.
A nuisance.
A piss-poor excuse for a babysitter.
Cell phones have made people more anti-social and lazier than ever.
Parents especially are notoriously bad for ignoring their kids while using them, oftentimes disguising their guilt, shame and addiction in the form of saying that they are on their phones for "work".
While I can't say that there aren't people who actually need to be on the phone a lot for work, I do ask that people assess the priorities in their life, and implore parents to recategorize their priorities, putting their significant others and children further up than their electronics.
See what Lady Steem has to say to one grandmother who has had it with her daughter's cell phone addiction!
Until next time, stay steemy my friends!
