You have only to watch them walk into traffic staring at their phones to
know that.

When I go out my phone lives in a back pocket, ignored utterly until I
need to call a cab or someone calls me.
No data plan, cause who the fuck wants to use the internet on a 1.5"x1"

It's not the internet that makes them stupid, it's social media and
clickbait sites (that both use the same techniques for "viewer
engagement".)
