Oh, of course, cellular phones have been extremely beneficial. I would not go anywhere without bringing my phone in the event of an emergency.

But therein lies the difference: I wouldn't bring my phone to BE ON IT 🚫 I can't speak on why they do it, only that every parent is on their phone while their kids and two adults (us 😂) are playing WITH our children.

Despite how beneficial, it constantly takes us away from the present. And, unfortunately, not many people possess self-control enough to stop -- myself included!
