yeah, i agree 100% 

i see it w my kids

we have to be very explicit w them about making eye contact, greeting ppl, saying thank you, etc.

forming and maintaining good relationships is the antidote to a lot of the issues that technology creates in the world

I agree. I teach young people irl and many of them have real social anxiety. Simple things like making a phone call or asking a stranger the time are completely alien to them. 

I cringe when i see babies attached to ipad screens. 

I’m not sure of the solution yet as we move forward into a more and more digital age but I do fear for the loss of irl interpersonal skills and the impact that it has on our young people, specifically on loneliness and depression statistics.

1 million followers and zero friends is a very real thing.
