You are like the majority of people out there... fear not! Most of us go on a hike or run and our first thought is to enjoy the moment, not share via some contrived social apparatus designed to, ultimately, sell us shit. It is actually a crime in our family to pull your phone out at dinner. Don't do it if you want to keep your fingers or keep Mama's fork from entering the back of your hand. No food selfies here!!!! This is all just a phase.... I hope. Because social networking in the current form is insufferable.

"It is actually a crime in our family to pull your phone out at dinner." I hope this becomes just good manners--very soon. I look at people, whom are buried into their phone, and try to be understanding. But my first thought is they are socially awkward, or painfully shy. It's the Adult Pacifier of the last few years. It's not kids either, it adults of all socioeconomic groups. My dating days are over, but I couldn't imagine putting up with a anyone staring into a phone. I honestly don't know how young people put up with it. Partly because the phone is such a dumb device. I know your not programming, or working on it. The girl buried onto her laptop; "Great--it must be school, work, or she's doing something other than surfing social media sites." The Phone Stare is the most unattractive trait I can recall. That goes for all sexes. I just happen to notice more women because of hormones, but I see the guys too. I couldn't be the only one who wants to take that phone and throw it against Starbuck's menu board? And yes, I'm projecting. It's a little thing, but because society has changed because of the devices; I blame that Smart Phone. There was a time were people actually talked in person. It was sometimes nice.
