An older gentleman asked to pay my girlfriend and I a complement: For talking to each other in a restaurant instead of watching our phones. Well we are a bit older too but 10 minutes later she pulled out her phone and started scrolling. She didn’t see the irony.
Well, right now I am downstairs and husband is upstairs, if one of us had a question for the other – we text.
I come down from our home office, leaving him upstairs working on one thing or another to cook dinner. In our younger days I could yell up the stairs to tell him dinner is ready, but he refuses to admit he has hearing problem, so these days I text him “ok” which means dinner is ready and he replies “ok”.
Mostly before Covid as we don’t separate in stores much any longer – when we go to a store and walk around separately – such as one of us looking at computer department and the other doing grocery shopping in Walmart – when it is time to leave the one ready to leave no longer has to wander through the store, which sometimes used to end up with each doing same and almost not meeting up – the one ready to leave will text the other something like “meet by front door” and the other will reply “ok” (or "meet me in “X” department – usually he is the one replying this).
On Sunday nights I call my 95 yo mom at 7pm and we talk for an hour – she has special permission from her nursing home to stay up this late for the call. (We don’t even eat dinner until 8pm.)
I make maybe 12 calls a year at most to clients.
And my cell phone is our main phone for non-800 number calls and this is about all the calls/texts we make with it.

My son, a Personal Trainer, is amazed by the number of young people with terrible posture, caused by constantly staring down at their phones.

I know it doesn’t look like it but they are communicating, via text with lots of emojis.

There’s a catfish restaurant in Florence, Mississippi shaped like that.

Does this mean they are dating? It’s always been kind of ambiguous
