Have you noticed when you walk into a restaurant or any public outing where the main focus is to conversate with the person you are with, but the whole time both of you are just blindly scrolling away on social media? This has become such a problem in our generation and it’s all thanks to the great technological advances we have made in the last couple of years. With how far technology has come in the short years it started ramping up, where do you see yourself 10 years from now? A smart phone connected to your brain like a chip?
