It's made conversation better because now you don't have to talk to the person in front of you who's boring the fuck out of you in work and you can talk to people you actually do like.
I don't go out to pubs or clubs anyway and I don't go to college or anything like that but from what I've seen it's a pretty astute observation to say young people are zombified by their phones.
One thing that I find to be the epitome of vanity and pretenciousness is certain types of selfies I've seen other people taking on a night out, I'm tempted to say it's usually women who do this but I could be wrong.
It's the kind of selfie where you can see the person doesn't look happy, they might even look a bit pissed off or annoyed. Then the phone comes out and for a few moments their facial expression changes to where it looks like they've won a substantial amount of money and their wildest dreams have come true. Based on that one facial expression you'd think that this moment was the most exciting part of their life that's happened so far And then the picture's taken and the face goes back to normal again.
I think it's a case of everyone trying to look like their having the most fun, but when you can see the person taking that selfie it's obvious they're not enjoying a moment in their life they're just taking a picture at a certain angle and giving a certain facial expression to make it look like that's the case. When I was young everyone seemed to be more focused on getting hammered and actually enjoying the moment of going out.
But when I take a girl out or I'm out at the cinema I'm not one of those phone people. The only time I might take my phone out is to fact check something that we're talking about.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
