Kids and their phones these days. What happened to a good old fashioned conversation?

@canion Last December I attended a very formal choral concert and the young people were the only ones who managed to stay off of their phones. The old people around me seemed unable to prevent themselves from compulsively checking facebook.

@gregmoore It’s always Facebook with the oldies, isn’t it?

@gabz “Why is that stranger taking photos of us?” 😂

@canion What cracks me up about oldsters and facebook is they are glued to it for the same reasons they complain about with young people and their phones. We all are compelled to connect. 🧐Thankfully, my Micro.blog addiction is totally different.🎩

@canion in the early days of lockdown, the local restaurants that offered outdoor dining or takeout removed their printed menus. We had to scan a QR code to see the menu and place our orders.

@gregmoore what is an oldsters? Do I have permisison to start throwing around millenial snowflake comments?

@khurtwilliams Usually “oldster” is an unfair reference to somebody older than the person talking. In that spirit, I think you’re more than entitled to “snowflake” comments. 😂
My (poorly constructed) point was leaning into the original spirit of the photo that broad criticisms based on age don’t stand up to much scrutiny.

@gregmoore so point proven. 😃 Brilliant!

@canion haha! Shots fired.
