Pardon this vent/
I wish this could become law but then that would be the type of government-run society that we don't want. PEOPLE...PLEASE...PUT...YOUR PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES AWAY! I hate seeing people sitting with each other and everyone is messing with an electronic device. Generally speaking and in societies in which this pertains, people are becoming more and more pathetic every day but we're too stupid to notice because we're so impressed with the technology. We have a generation of people in some societies who do not know life before the Internet and they speak and type coursework in text-language. Teachers and college professors (those who care) are having to buffer the effects of this brain attack. All of this is highlighted when I see groups of adults sitting together at restaurants and social events looking at their electronic devices. A quick look is fine if you have something you absolutely have to do right then and there. But a bunch of people not knowing how to talk face-to-face because they are talking to a damn screen all day? Please people...stop that mess. I have a rule with my friends (my family doesn't need it because all of us have low tolerance for technology, hate facebook, etc.) that we have to talk to each other when we are around each other. Put the damn phones away. I don't give a shit about your facebook, your twitter, your Instagram, whatever else, and don't you DARE take photos of yourself, us, or the food and post it on the Internet while we're sitting together at a restaurant or event. I hated and stayed away from photos before the Internet and definitely hate and stay away from photos now that people can't stop sharing their every breath with the Internet.
And speaking of, for the love of all that is holy, except for extenuating circumstances, it is corny as hell to text with someone who is sitting at the table. I was with a group last night and two of them started texting each other from across the table. I called them out because I could tell they were texting each other. Look, go sit beside each other or something. If you want to flirt, it is corny to need a text (a joking "you look sexy" text can be tolerated but a nonstop back and forth is corny). If you are talking negatively about the people at the table, fuck you, say it to our faces. We are RIGHT HERE. LOL.
