It's sad and those phenomens are quite familiar for me when I'm having a family reunion, meeting friends or just going to work and seeing that everyone just cannot take their look from their phone. In my city where I live (in Germany) they even have installed lights on the streets for pedestriants when crossing the street, because people got injured by looking on their phone instead of the traffic. There is nothing we can do since nobody wants to change that and society already has been used to it.
