Widespread

We are addicted to our devices in today's society. Phones are practically glued to our hands. This constant connect is actually creating a disconnect.

Try putting that phone and computer away. Make electronics off limits at times, not only to the children but ourselves too. We are all guilty. I know I've been distracted while others have tried talking to me. They felt unheard. And I know how that feels. That I made someone else feel that way, is so very sad... Especially someone I care deeply about.

Communication is greatly suffering. Text is preferred over a phone call. Never mind getting together face-to-face. Spelling is suffering too with all this text-speak. People need to be aware of these consequences and curb this addiction since it is nearing epidemic proportions.

Humanity is being sacrificed for technology.
