Nice post. We sure did manage to navigate without a device, didn't we? My kids have no sense of direction whatever. And I'm also from the generation that read books, and wrote letters. The only thing I will say for the phones and devices is that it's probably a good thing for someone to be able to reach you urgently, and vice versa. The worst aspects are the antisocial behavior you mentioned, and also it seems to me they have generated a culture where people expect instant gratification. I mean I would write a letter to someone and expect to hear back in a week or two, and it was fine.
