Bring back that whole timeframe. We weren’t all so stuck up our phone’s ass.

Posted in r/teachers yesterday:

I took my own children to a park, there were about 8-10 kids running around between the ages of 1 and 6. The children were feral. The parents were on their phones the entire time. None of the bad behavior was noticed, let alone corrected. A three year old boy sat in a tunnel and screamed and pushed anyone who came near. Mom was oblivious. She wasn’t watching her kid, she was on her phone. Another girl (about 5) was being extremely rough around some of the toddlers (kicking towards them, jumping over a one year old at one point). Her dad didn’t correct the behavior. He didn’t see it. He was on his phone. I could go on. Besides the occasional glance, parents were completely disengaged from their children.

Yeah, growing up as a teen it was the opposite. I was burning CDs and had this phone stuck up my ass

CDs and had this phone stuck up my ass

Kids will think you're joking, but the vibration on those things was a proper... well, vibrator.

Nothing like getting a text from your crush with your phone in your crotch for her/him having indirectly caused you sexual pleasure.

(Also we did actually have contests on who'd throw their phone the highest without failing to catch it. And the throw were easily 5-15 meters high. And lots of misses. But not a single disabled phone. Small scratches on the covers maybe, but you could also buy new covers so it was no problem.)
