WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE? I realize that more and more often people are looking at their mobile phones insted of talking to another people. We are addicted to social networks and we forget that a real life exists. When I go to a restaurant I usually see couples or groups of friends using their mobiles. I think it would be better to have a conversation with the person who is with you. Nowadays people prefer chatting to talking. In my opinion we are missing the sense of relationships.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE?

I realize that more and more often people are looking at their mobile phones instead of talking to another people each other. We are addicted to social networks and we forget that a real life exists. When I go to a restaurant I usually see couples or groups of friends using their mobiles. I think it would be better to have a conversation with the person who is with you. Nowadays people prefer chatting to talking. In my opinion we are missing the sense essence of relationships.

I agree. It can be seen as rude since it takes the attention away from the people we are suppose to be entertaining for the evening. As a society, we are quite disconnected from human interaction that involves time, feelings, and thoughtful reflection, but there is always hope that we can change and be better. Your entry is very well written. Good luck with your language journey.

Indeed, it's a major problem, there is even a term for the situation when ignoring someone to check your phone "phubbing" some people are just too hooked to their phones so basically they can't do anything without them, I also think that chatting is easier than having a real conversation and humans tend to always choose the easiest paths.
