Hi @scriptify !
First of all: I feel you and I've been pondering about this problem for a while now and yes, it is indeed (t)here - easily noticing it when I was commuting by public transport or in some public places: 'people' getting easily 'distracted' by their phone (notifications), desperately trying to mimic a 'real' connection/conversation with some online person or just 'random scrolling' online, trying to stay 'engaged' or in 'contact', while getting carried to work/school/etc. Much social.
People tend to forget that they can just raise their eyes out of the 'black mirror' for a bit, look around and find some nearby stranger/person with whom you can have a real social/human interaction with, a real conversation (spoiler alert!) - without the 'luxury' of time to adjust/perfect your replies like in 'text' mode, some tend to favour / do that as it allows them to present themselves in a desirable manner.
The world is so 'connected', yet people seem/are so 'disconnected', or the human social interaction seems to dim 😞
Second of all: Thanks for starting & sharing this, got me motivated again to get involved in this 'initiative' and i'll try to find the time to do that soon. Good job!
Cheers 🍻
