My first pseudostuttering episode occurred with one of my close friends on March 27th at a local coffee shop. It was early in the morning and as one would expect, the shop was quite busy. This fact made me especially nervous as I wanted to ensure my pseudostuttering would be convincing to my friend, as well as to the people around me.

Out of tune. Uninformed. Spoiled. Superficial. The litany of criticisms excoriating Millennials is endless. “Why do you always have to be looking down at your phone?” older generations ask, “look up!” But as for the question at hand: have social media and smartphones made me a more distracted person?
