It's not "new or exclusive" but you're fooling yourself if you think it hasn't gotten worse for the generation who grew up with social media and a phone in their hand since childhood. The amount of kids/teens and 20 year olds who struggle to maintain eye-contact, do an activity without touching their phone or know how to form relationships with people has skyrocketed. I feel like you live a pretty isolated life if you haven't noticed this. Hell just go to any McDonalds or Walmart and you'll see kids who can barely walk, playing vidya games on their mom's phone. Not saying a word or looking at anyone.
