So sad, yet (i believe) true. Our children pay, too, from this lack of real presence from the people around them (not that they aren’t early in screens themselves). Thank you for attention on this very important issue (she says from her desktop. No one is immune, it seems, but I hear you calling for balance and awareness, not eradication). At the very least, accidents will decrease, as people pay attention to their surroundings (my husband watches the news. Every night someone drives through a house or restaurant, smashing their car and the property. One ended up in a swimming pool! WTH? It’s total madness).
