Yesterday, I caught myself texting far longer than I meant to, nodding and muttering, “Uh huh,” to my kids without really listening. It’s easy to get sucked in, isn’t it? One minute, I grab my phone to check a new text message, and the next thing I know, 20 minutes have flown by. I’ve been mindlessly scrolling, completely disconnected from the people right in front of me.
In a world where we’re more digitally connected than ever, moments like these are becoming all too common. Are we sacrificing real, meaningful human connections for the convenience of our screens?
