‘"You’re the only one not on your phone tonight"’: 30-year-old daughter puts cellphone on ‘Do Not Disturb‘ during a family dinner, her mother scolds her for refusing to get her phone to share photos of her recent travels

This age of technology has made it impossible to talk to someone, face to face, for more than 30 minutes. Instead of searching for the twinkle in someone's eyes when you compliment them, you comment under their latest Instagram flick with an emoji that speaks a thousand words. Goodbye, mediocre literacy rates! Hello… even more mediocre literacy rates?

Not everyone struggles with toxic habits concerning their smartphones, tablets, and computers. Some even reject the status quo completely by taking it old school and finding Nokia phones on eBay. Everything is cyclical, that's for sure.

At the dinner table nowadays, you'll find that in a group of people, at least one or two dinner-goers are scrolling away while they drown out the conversation with ASMR TikToks. This is more common in children, but that's only where the problem begins… What's next are boomer adults who believe that the AI-generated singing pig is real, and the end times are near.

In this next story, a 30-year-old visits her parents and puts her phone on "Do Not Disturb" so she can be present at her family dinner. When her mother insists she get up and grab her phone to share photos of her recent travels, the woman suggests she do so after dinner. Her mother was not happy, to say the least. Scroll below to read the entire story.
