Hi Mary. I agree with all you say.
I'm very intolerant of that sort of thing, being with someone who has their head stuck to their phone. There's a time for it, but there should be boundaries and limits; and foregoing the real world for it is senseless.
Only yesterday I was chatting to a mate who I had not spoken with for 3 months. He had another call come in and said I have to get this, won't be long. He put me on hold and went to the other call. I hung up and went on with life.
I value the person I'm with, treat them with respect and don't do stuff like the above...Never put people on hold to wait around for me like that. But that's just me.
Anyway, people mostly don't care. Facebook is more important that most other things which is why they comprise real life and real people for it. Wankers.
