While we may...It is definitely Ghost in the Shell. While we may look like the people from Wall-E, once people can abandon their bodies they will.<br /><br />I hate to say it, but I feel that a lot of how people interact in based upon respect. If people are talking while clicking around on their phone, they don't respect you enough to spend the time actually talking to you. If people are on the phones while "listening", the same thing goes. Most people at my company now have smart phones, but you won't see them ever pulled out during meetings or the like. <br /><br />For me, the same goes with friends. The only time I pull out my phone is to check the time or look up some information because we are having a discussion.<br /><br />I guess I was also a dumb phone user for a long time. I only got my smart phone last year and I've refused to let it be a leash. My work email isn't on my phone and while I usually have it on me, I will gladly let a call go to voice mail instead of picking it up because it would be socially rude to do so.Xphilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754012726578910554noreply@blogger.com
