                      @coolbean The rare time I try to talk to my parents, especially mother. She just looks at her phone and I have to keep repeating her name until she finally gives me at most 15 seconds of attention.

                      It's absurd that when we were younger our parents complained that we used our phones too much but now it feels like Gen Z and younger millenials are the only people with a (relatively) healthy relationship to computers. (far from saying everyone has)
