Most people are just simply miserable. Starring a phone and playing online constantly is just a way to keep their mind busy and off their real problems.
It's a simple addiction. Internet addiction. It's real and affects millions of people. We think it's 'normal' because 'everybody is doing it.' Well, everybody eats junk food, drinks and smokes, and we know what will happen to people that do that. Diabetes, alcoholism and heart disease awaits them. What awaits internet addicts are lack of social life, no sex life, no meaning and no purpose.
There is a reason you are not supposed to be watching movies on a subway. You are supposed to use those moments to think. Think about your life and think about why you are on this stinking subway to begin with, and make plans to better your life. Watching a movie on the subway robs you of thinking and a chance at growing. Also, watching movies on a subway or anyplace outside robs you of paying attention to other people, places and things. The most basic things in life you learn by watching, listening and thinking.
Smart phones are robbing people of so much more than their free time. Boredom is needed for your mind to think. You are not supposed to be entertained 18 hours a day.
I feel sorry for this generation of kids growing up. Watching TV at home is one thing, but watching everywhere you go will cause more damage to society than we can predict.
