Doesn't end well I think.  I definitely prefer waymo over uber, and restaurants with self-ordering systems over waitresses... even though I am gaining convenience at the expense of human interaction... I'm sure it will be 10x worse for young kids and ill effects will compound over time.

Sort of like how Japan is great for solo travel but everyone is lonely...

Socialization of Teens Declining

I know some kids who went to a private Catholic school, where the rule was - phones are locked away when school starts, and stay locked up until school ends.  Public schools have a very watered down form of that, where (depending on the whim of the teacher) sometimes they have to put their phone in a specified location, at the beginning of the class.

Where is this all going to end? Continued shrinking of any kind of socializing? 

Or will people/organizations start setting up rules and boundaries, like the Catholic school did?
