I and pretty much everyone I know has repeatedly mentioned how difficult of a time they're having reading books, code (software eng. friends), or even watching the first half of a movie without feeling the need to open their phones and scrolling Instagram.
then I suppose you and everyone you know has basically broken their brain with toxic social media. Or similar?
my spouse and I (30s) had no problem sitting through the new Spider-Man movie without opening up our phones.
How many of these people before simply paused the movie to get a snack or converse a bit?
The parent comment may be a joke, but it's unclear if it is. This makes it possibly the best kind of joke.
