What, are we 80 years old here. Posting Facebook memes mad the damn kids are always on their damn phones?

I am a travel and outdoors enthusiast, I love being outside and experiencing a new city or the wilderness, but also, phones are powerful technology that allow us to find directions or look up where to go.

The real issue isn't that we are using it, it's that they are being used to collect and sell our data for advertising, that algorithms are designed to keep us on our phone instead of experiencing the world.

It's boomer shit to post this meme and be like, society bad, people on phones.

This is a parody of Boomer memes.

The classic meme goes "not a phone in sight. Just people enjoying the moment". This is a play on that by swapping the words and romanticizing phones instead.

Oh don't worry, everyone is talking to each other. They're just using their phones to do that.
