This is what happens when low-tech normies don't know how to handle their pocket sized computer while also trying to let that pocket size computer babysit their kids.
If I could go back to say, 1998, and freeze media tech to what I had around that time I'd do it in a second. I believe that's around when I had DSL internet, a DVD player, and had not yet gotten a cell phone. I even get surprised when I'm around older people. I'm supposed to be the young guy who grew up in the world of computers and attached to this stuff right? Where's my phone? Oh I left it in the car oops, or it's just in my pocket and I ignore it. These older people? Can't put the damn things down ever. I was on a little mini-trip with one of them and we were away from cell service for about 4 hours. You'd have thought they were going to die. I don't get it.

Smart phones were a mistake.
