Had to laugh! 19:12 - Feb 2 with 5403 views | jack2jack | Went out for coffee with Mrs J2J earlier, so we are sitting there and the table next to us is free, a family of 4 sat down, they were there for at least 45 minutes, each had a phone, not one of them said a word to each other , they stared at the phones the whole time, not deviating their attention for one moment, they then got up and left. Is this the future, can we turn things around or is it too late!!What are your views. | | | | |

Nice place, but there were two busy bodies sat next to us who kept judging everything we done. They made us feel so uncomfortable for 45 minutes in the end we had to get up and leave.

Older people always react about new things like this, it was ever thus. Go into construction site canteens these days and where you used to see every newspaper under the sun on the tables, you'll be lucky to see one or two papers now. | |

I was, just made an observation, wondered what other opinions were, and to start a reasonable debate. Do you have an opinion on how the internet and social media is changing society, or just your usually bollox.👠| | | |

Don't you think it's sad that the art of conversation is dying on its arse,folk bidding behind their mobiles, for fear of having to talk to your fellow humans.Sad as fvck. | | | |

Not really, things change, people and society evolve. If they didn't, you wouldn't be sat there now on your internet enabled device, playing about on social media. | |

You'd think they would type on an online forum Just to add I see many mothers? pushing a pram/pushchair with one hand and holding the phone in the other. Each to their own but Grumpy old man here | | | |

Being serious, is the art of conversation really dying though? We're still doing it, we're just choosing to converse electronically now. Like us here right now on Planet Swans, rather than down the local where I imagine many people went on a Sunday evening in times gone by Times change and people evolve. I prefer it this way... it means I can wind people up without being on the receiving end of a thump [Post edited 2 Feb 2020 19:43]

I know, but I'll tell you something, if I'm out with friends or with the missus, I don't sit there glued to my mobile, my focus is on the people I'm with. I know society is changing but there is something wrong about it, don't you think.👠| | | |

No i don't think there is anything wrong with it mate, embrace change. Fight change and everyday is a battle, and this is one battle you won't win. Take no notice of what others do around you, just carry on enjoying your wife and your mates company. | |

But Blaze it's not the same, in time folk will loose the ability to communicate face to face, I know some youngsters who can't even talk on the phone, because they don't know how to, it's sad. | | | |
