Too much phone for us

I just read an article that made me think a little.

In a bid to avoid "text walking" collisions, a Belgian city has been provided with dedicated temporary "text walking lanes" for pedestrians who are glued to their mobile phones.

I'm the first one to be walking while texting sometimes, but only because I feel bad making the other person wait (lol) but sometimes I tell them I'll write later because I'm just bad at doing more than one thing at the same time (So the myth is false or I'm not a woman(?))

Are we that obsessed with phones? I mean, not so long ago we weren't even able to communicate all the time like that. But is it real communication?
Please, be careful with that. Every time you can see people writing or talking while driving, while walking or even while "spending" time with friends. I say "spending" because there are people who don't even pay attention to anything but their phone.
There are more phones out there than persons in the world!
Yep, yep, I must say it is a great thing that we can talk like that, but sometimes you should put away your phone and enjoy your surroundings!
I say phone as I can say everything. Just disconnect a little sometimes, to appreciate everything better.
Don't always stick up to the screen.
