People shove themselves up into places where they don't enjoy being in(or they get shoved up there), so they try to cover the awkwardness of the uninteresting conversation or dead air with being/acting busy with their phones, if they're having good time no phones would be in the picture. but for other cases like selfies and recording a concert instead of enjoying it, I agree, this is retarded.

If I were bored somewhere, I couldn't pull out my phone because I have nothing to do with it, it's not a smartphone. But at least none of the vid applies to me then. Until I get a smartphone that is. Recording concerts is retarded. We had a particular event at the school once and I was the one filming, I didn't really like it because looking at the screen instead of experiencing it with your own eyes kinda sucks.

Its like getting front row seats to a game, and then just watching it on the jumbo tron the whole time.

A girl within my city walked into an oncoming metro train while crossing the street.. This happened about 2 years ago... She had her headphones on while face down on her phone... I feel that sorta speaks volumes as to how much we've gotten carried away with this shit....

Talking on your cell phone while checking out. That's a pretty rude habit... Isn't it?
Just do what Louis CK says. Just cry. Though he does make a lot of valid points and it's terrible that people run to a phone not to be alone and bored.
