Technology makes us less productive

I recently heard a baby boomer refer to my generation as "The distracted generation". He described walking across a college campus and seeing every student with their heads glued to their phones. He explained that we all appear unable to handle normal social situations. We turn to our phones to avoid awkward silences and just talking in general. Overall, it destroys our ability to focus.

I couldn't agree more. I think that as long as we are unwilling to shut off our phones when we need to focus, we will always experience limited productivity.
