How addicted are to our phone?

I was sitting in waiting the dentist the other day. It was full of people waiting to be treated.

Then a few seconds later the lady gets her phone out and starts texting. And here I am alone among people buried in their phones, not acknowledging each other. There was something about this experience that made me step back a little and think about the role of technology in our lives and how it can enable but also disable our genuine connections with others.
