I have a question.
Over the last few years I've noticed more and more people walking around staring into their phones. And by people I mean women, overwhelmingly. If there's 5 females and 5 males waiting for a bus, usually 4 of the females will be looking into their phones, and maybe 1 male doing it.
I wish I could take a peek and see what they're actually looking at, but it's not easy. They tend to say stuff like "why are you jumping on me?" and "Ouch, that hurts!" I'm sure they're not texting a friend or reading a text. Maybe they're reading blogs. But if they're walking around surely they're not looking at anything that requires deep attention, so the only thing I can think of is social media, as although it can use up one's attention, that attention is light. Sometimes I see them in the middle of the road looking at their phones, and sometimes they're just holding them out. It's ridiculous.
So my question is, are the majority of them looking at social media? I suspect they are. If so, what a sad state of affairs that so many people (women) are that addicted.
