Kindle Notes & Highlights
You may have been affected by the empathy-tempering effects of social technology even if you don’t spend much time using it. The ubiquity of smartphones has brought us another new word: phubbing, or ignoring the people around you in favor of your phone. A 2018 University of Kent study showed, unsurprisingly, that when people were phubbed in one-on-one situations, they felt worse about their interaction with that person, and they rated the phubber as having lower communication skills and empathy.
there IS a word for that!! It used to hurt my feslings so much now I probably do itv to others!
