Same situation here. I find it terrible when I look around a bus or some other public space and see literally everybody bent over their iPhones and what not. (Not only the younger generation, btw, many older people are just as bad.)
That's why I'm always glad when I find other people my age who consciously refuse to be constantly available via WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc. - several I know actually refuse to have a smart phone at all (yes, those people still exist ;-) ).

That's abusive generalizations for you.
It's not that I have a superiority complex over not using smartphones, though it is delightfully ironic to witness many of the older generations I hear chastising people like me for a variety of grievances commit one of the cardinal sins I actually don't.
And yes, if you can't last more than 5 minutes without checking Facebook, you need help.
