People watching mobile phone videos in public

it is my biggest gripe about other people too, as well as feet on seats on public transport.  Hence why I rarely use either a bus or a train, except once or twice a year.  Plebs have got more selfish and are totally unaware of the world around them.  To walk to the shops glued to your phone is extremely sad, when you could be having quiet, look at the world time and thats the crux of the matter; mobile phones make users selfish, inarticulate, and most of all oblivious to their dangers because said user is focused on a small screen unaware of the majesty of the world, even a dandelion growing at the top of a chimney stack, or the architecture of the Victorians, or the juxtaposition of buildings and nature.  

Mobile phones have taken over money as the root of much evil......................................I barely use mine.  Would happily give it up, actually maybe I will, watch this space.

Its turned off between 9pm and 9am.  Set to silent most of the time, most notifications off.  No social media apps.  But handy for listening to books outside, or music on walks with headphones of course.  But must confess maps and navigation systems have really helped with my total lack of direction and sense of travel.  But even then, I still spend more time observing new places than watching stupid screen. 

Yes that is my opinion too. My phone goes off by 9. I sometimes forget to turn it on, although most days I turn it on to see the weather so I know what to wear. My phone is away whilst walking so I can enjoy the surroundings. I hate the sudden noises. My son does watch his when out, but at least he uses earbuds.
