Was sent this in an email. I'm sure some of you have received it also. Of a series of images of young folks at different venues, beach, dinner, museum etc, all with phones in their faces.
Some good commentary at the link above.
I've seen this even in my own family. My daughter is over for the evening with her tribe. The two teens have iPad Minis, son in law has an iPad Air and daughter has an iPhone 5s. Me, I put my iPad down to talk but they are connected elsewhere

That's the telling statement.
Yep, it's a new social concept now. On sports channels during big events they have a reporter that reports on the tweets about the game. As if it's important to know what someone like Samuel L Jackson says on a Heat/ Spurs game lead change

LOL.. yes.. I have a some mobile devices too. Just saying... maybe you should set the example and just shelve it while family is there. At least you'll be participating.
