But couldn't the same be said for people bringing smartphones into gym locker rooms? 20 years ago if you pulled a camcorder out in a locker room you might get yelled at, today there are signs posted saying no cameras but people are taking selfies in gym mirrors with people changing 3 feet out of frame, and if you ask someone to put their phone away while they text next to you at a locker you'll be ignored and given a rude face. Rudeness gets normalized over time unfortunately. Texting at dinner is the same. Imagine someone pulling out a book and reading some Harry Potter for 30 seconds during the middle of a conversation at dinner or drinks. Now do the same with checking a text or Slack for 20-30 seconds during a 1:1 or group social hang.
