Yep. And then you end up with hunched phone zombies almost getting run-over crossing a street because they can't quit looking at the next Tinder. When they finally do meet, they lack the social skills to do anything, and just camp on their phones like that Bansky work.

Or just gently enforce the norm that it's rude to look at your phone? I totally get that there are individual people who use their phone while socializing (in my experience, usually those who are dealing with some intense anxiety at the time), but most people understand that it's rude.
Is this just a cultural/class blindspot of mine? Do you really encounter social situations of 3+ people where everyone is on their phone at dinner?
