David Sparks blogs about families missing moments of joy with noses buried in screens:

We often talk about how people can’t put their phones down while in line at the market, but what about during moments of joy? When taking in a theme park with your family, at the beach, or on vacation? Those moments are found solely in your immersion in the now.

Pay attention the next time you are at a place like Disneyland. Notice how many people are remarkably, yet unremarkably, not even there.

I’m surely guilty of this too from time to time, but it’s not hard to leave the phone in my pocket.
