Karl Marx was the author of the saying” Religion is the opiate of the masses”. Today, that is no longer the case. Today, it is the cell phone that is the opiate of the masses. It boggles my old mind how these people cannot put down their devices to walk, drive, or eat. It’s is just amazing to me, and I hesitate to see how much worse it can get.
I quite agree with you. A number of years ago the wife and I was eating lunch in a cafe a observed a couple each reading a book while they ate we commented on how they could be doing that- now 30+ years later it is not uncommon to see 75% of customers doing something on a cel phone.
