KEEP YOUR THUMBS STILL WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU:

This article was posted in the New York times and it discusses how people are always on their blackberries or smartphones.  It also talks about how it has become the social norm to constantly be on the phone whether it's checking the internet or texting.  It has become a major distraction to people.  I, for one, hate it when I'm trying to have a conversation with someone while they're on the phone.  It's extremely annoying to have a one-way conversation with somebody else standing right in front of you.  Since people who are always on their phones and can't seem to do two things at once, this has become the norm.  It has become somewhat ridiculous that we can't stay away from technology long enough to have a simple conversation with an actual person in your actual presence.  So, in ways, technology can be a problem.
