Inappropriate USe of Digital Media

I like to live in the moment so it bothers me when I am having a conversation with someone and they access their phone to retrieve a message.  Also, if I am on vacation and there is nothing I can do about a situation at home, i do not want to know about it. I had a friend relay a message one time from her facebook page and it dampened the mood of the day.

I am glad we think alike about the use of face book.  I think it is an addiction for many people.  What is wrong with calling and talking to a person, sending a text message, email, or actually meeting face to face and talking if it is something that needs to be shared.  Most high school students and some adults don't know how to communicate face to face anymore.

I feel the same way.  We have a rule in our family that you can only use social media if you are alone or if we are just watching tv together.   Cell phones and computers are not allowed at the supper table.  We talk and have fun instead.  I'm worried that we are going to forget how to do that as a society.
