The very devices that were meant to make it easier for us to connect has made more people disconnect. It is really an interesting phenomenon as smart phones have only really been in use for a decade. I live in South Korea (IT capital of the world) when I take the subway to work everyday, all I see is people with their heads down in their own world, on their phone.
One fun little game i like to play with my friends or family, if we go out to dinner together, we all put our phones in the center of the table, the first one to take their phone for a message, call, etc has to buy dinner. It has definitely helped us to have more undivided, interaction with each other .
