Yeah, I don't know how some people are patient enough to do that kind of thing on a smartphone if they have any lengthy thing to type up or process to complete.

I mainly use Facebook to see what my family & friends are sharing.  Sometimes I wonder what I'd be missing out on if I stopped using social media, but I know there's a lot more that goes on besides what people post on social media..  When I'm doing things with other people, I try not to spend a whole lot of time looking at my phone, as I want to be in the moment.

Semi-related - Sometimes it seems to me that some people expect people to quickly answer all their texts & things.  Sometimes I'm doing other things which I'm focusing on, so I won't alawys reply right away.  I think people sometimes forget what it was like before a lot of people had cell phones; also, there are people now who never even really lived without cell phones & such..
