Monday, May 5th

After watching this video, I feel like my thoughts have been put into words. I can't even count how many times I see a group of friends literally not talking and just sitting on their phones playing useless games. I once saw a group of twenty freshmen in the Fixed Forums, and not a single one of them was talking to each other. Instead, they were all on their phones, doing nothing at all.
Social interaction isn't how it used to be, and we need to change it. People aren't engaging in conversation and interaction like we used to. Now, like the video said, it's staring at a name on a computer screen rather than looking at someones face. It's getting to the point where looking someone in the eye when they speak is awkward and uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar to us.
