Oh come on. It's a ''new'' technology that we have yet to incorporate adequately in our life. Trial and error. That is what we are doing with the society experiment of the smartphone right now.
This is basically a younger generation's toy that the older (most of it anyway) doesn't fully understand and therefore, is uneasy about setting boundaries for its use. My generation (25-35) is the real problem: adults behaving like kids. As adults, we are supposed to know how to behave appropriately in society (turn off phone), yet we are using them like teenagers (glued to the phone in inappropriate times). The younger generation will have grown up with it and will be better at understanding its effect on society, translating in a better usage of it depending on the social circumstances.
Off course it was always so much better ''when I was a kid'', but things change and are never perfect. And when we're all dead, new technologies will appear and our grand kids will be bitching about them too, saying it was so much better when they only had smartphones and that young generations are a sea of stupid.
