The smartphone is not the social interaction killer everyone makes it out to be. CMV

A popular media topic as of late is the assertion that people are interacting less because people are too obsessed with their smartphones. Eating establishments are offering discounts to parties who set their phones aside, to help maintain their atmosphere and people often cite that college students are interacting with their phones instead of their classmates. I personally find that people aren't socializing less they are merely socializing with people more relevant to them within their social circle. Anecdotally when im out eating i use my smart phone to carry the conversation, because the internet has plenty of topics to actually discuss. Also its a good way to end disputes at the bar via fact checking. I think this whole sentiment is blown out of proportion and just a popular controversial topic not really impacting anyone significantly CMV.

There are people who use their phones to fact check, and than put them away after use. And there are also people who are constantly playing with there phones instead of conversing and making eye contact with the people in front of them. Its the latter that gives the idea that phones are killing are ability to interact with people face to face.
