Aren;t they on the verge of achieving most of these?

In high school I had gotten my phone taken away for aa month. Without it, I felt isolated and alone. I had no one to talk to besides the time spent in school which was hard to doc because of classes. Being without an electronic device, makes it hard to keep in touch with people or to know what's happening in the world around you.

But many adults were staring into their devices intently, barely looking up when a touchdown was scored. And unlike the teens, they weren’t sharing their devices with others or taking photos of the event
Perfect example of my parents. My dad always gets mad when i'm on my phone but when he's on his, it's because he HAS to be. Same with my mom.

And even though many teens are frequent texters, the teens were not directing most of their attention to their devices. When they did look at their phones, they were often sharing the screen with the person sitting next to them, reading or viewing something together.
