Took the family back to the place where my wife and I met as ski bums (small town in the mountains)

We went to a weekly music event and noticed that people were talking, dancing, laughing while the kids were playing in the grass/dirt and climbing trees. Not a single person was filming.

Felt nice. Not saying it’s not ok to be on your phone, but it does seem to act as “social armor” allowing people an easy way to avoid full immersion in situations.
