The social media are part of the problem, this morning i had a dentist appointment, as i was looking around the waiting room i would say 90% of the people were glued to their phones totally oblivious of anything around them, its a long time ago but in my School days we used a pen and paper and read Books, maybe the old ways are better in many ways, also as a teenager i worked part time in retail and would calculate the price of several items mentally didn't even use a calculator or note paper to write prices down.
