Young people are worse, but it's contagious.
I've seen people check their phones during job interviews. I've seen them text during important meetings. I've seen tables next to me where it didn't appear that people said 10 words to others at their table....but were texting across the table. I've seen people check their phones while giving sales pitches or presentations at meetings.
I do totally understand why people working remotely or in business need to stay on issues. I get that. It's the lunch and dinner or face to face conversations where people stop to text that drives me nuts.
I'm worse about it than I'd care to admit. I've been scolded for taking my phone out and reading emails a couple of minutes into blow-by-blow details of the work day of a wife, I feel the phantom buzz/ring in my pocket even when it's not there.
Technology is a good thing but it's definitely a curse socially I think. People really do need to learn to use their face to face time better imo.
If Young people keep de-evolving due to technology in 10 years they'll have surgery to turn themselves into Steven Hawking.
