This will be short and sweet. This article talks about the advances in technology and how it affects interactions with others in person to person situations. Having technology has made us rude and obnoxious when it comes to social behavior. It seems that we can say whatever we want and act as rude as we want as long as we have our phones out and say we are busy. Advances in technology should not correlate to how we treat each other. The fact that having a smartphone has a direct relation to our manners is somewhat disturbing. Where will we be in ten years if this slope keeps up? Will we be attacking each other if someone want to interrupt our game of angry birds 32?

I definitely agree that the distractions as a result of smartphones are only going to get worse. It seems that kids are getting smartphones at younger and younger ages and all this is causing is a lack of forced interaction with adults and their peers. It has become common place for a group of friends to sit around on a couch without even talking to each other because each person is wrapped up in their own phone.
