John Lambies Doos Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We are all guilty of it, some more than others. Faces glued to phones, missed conversations leading to missed opportunities. Concerts, events, plays etc not viewed through the eye but viewed through the phone. Wee adrenaline surges when one gets a like as if it's of utter importance whilst conversation and real time events suffer. What does the future hold and will there be social problems in years to come. We move with the future but are we heading towards a less social society as opposed to the 'bringing everyone together' promise of the smaller world..

falkirkthebigclub Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Not killing society but killing a generation's ability to hold a meaningful conversation, preferring instead to communicate using 'witty', snappy remarks (see above).

J_Stewart Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Oooft, (John Lambies) Yer Da’s hangover from yesterday’s Christmas doo has got him all philosophical. The answer is of course, no. A ludicrous suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Are Smart Phones killing Society? Hopefully just the c***s that cross the road glued to their phones and not giving a f**k about anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Maggie Thatcher didn't kill off the concept of society. Smart phones might modify it a bit, but won't be able to kill it either, because there is such a thing as society and we are all part of it. Rust in peace, Maggie T.

Hedgecutter Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Nothing funnier than when somebody glued to their phone walks into a lamp post and I'm fully willing to treat the so-called death of society as collateral damage if it ensures that the great show goes on.
