I saw a 20-something girl in the subway, I was standing beside her, she was sitting so I had a perfect view of her phone screen, so I observed what she was doing. ... its was ... crazy!
She was litteraly flying between, WhatsApp, Snapchat, instagram, text messages and Facebook at a speed you can't even imagine!
Her phone wallpaper was a picture of herself. My run in the subway was 20 min. She poster 3 selfies on Instagram. When she was scrolling pictures on her phone to find selfies to post, i saw that around 90% of all the pictures in her phone was selfies.
Lots and LOTS of emojis in all her texts. Lots of texts. She just kept answering texts the whole time.
But watching her scrolling Instagram was the most crazy part of it all... She just kept scolling and liking like a psychopath! Spending an average of 0,05sec on each pics. She often stopped around 2-4 sec on pictures of beautiful girls, but she didnt like those, only check them longer. Probably comparing and hating herself.
What kind of humans is the technology developping? Those who are born with thech in their hands. The future is scary.
- I had pretty much this exact experience last year, watching some girl flit between the same 3 apps, refreshing each manically, then doting on a pic of herselfNairn

It's all rather fucked isn't it.set - I saw a girl doing this in an airport. She would post a selfie, and then pull down the screen obsessively for reloads, checking the likes. It was insane.monospaced
- I've witnessed the same thing. The girl was about 16 and the speed at which she was scrolling and liking/responding to shit was unbelievableMilan
