Look around, most of the residents here can't put their phones down either, we also adapt to the technology and social media. Since the 80's (and maybe before) hard work has changed from the definition we grew up with as have the opportunities. Corporations no longer have employee loyalty so workers no longer have employer loyalty. Business and success is dependent on technology (phones, computers, social media), even the trades expect technology savvy employees so having their heads in their phones prepares them for both future education and work opportunities. How many of us talk to our grandkids when we have a technology question? Times keep changing and evolving, many have passed us by so we have a tendency to criticize those that have embraced it.
