Yeah, sometimes I wonder if the younger generation is at an advantage with all this technology or a disadvantage.
I think it is a disadvantage.
I think texting and smart phones are great game tools, but they work against us in distracting girls, and distracting us.
I have trained myself to be less responsive to my phone. It's paid off in better patience in general, and not as much worrying about what I do with the phone (reactions to texts sent, getting email, etc).
I play a game with myself to NOT check my phone if at all possible when I'm out, esp when gaming. It's a crutch and I can imagine it looks very omega to be checking your phone when boatloads of hot chicks are surrounding you. Sometimes I leave the phone at home (in those cases I take a pen and postit pad.)
