Cell phones and the decline of face-to-face

After my 3rd grade daughter’s evening teacher’s conference I took the family out to dinner since it was a bit too late to whip something up and we were in a happy mood after what the teachers had to say. At a booth near us, four teenage girls were sitting to have dinner with each other. So, you know that there was a lot of talking.

Each one of them was talking on a cell phone. Four girls. Four cellphones. No one talking with anyone at the table. I suppose if one had wanted to talk with one of the others they could just call.
