You’re at a concert, buzzing with excitement that you’re seeing <insert popstar/rocker name here> in the FLESH, surrounded by thousands of screaming fans and… the woman beside you watches the entire thing through her iPhone.
She doesn’t take just the occasional photo, but experiences the concert through a screen. It makes you wonder what the point is.
The love of your life stands opposite to you. He sinks to his knees and fumbles inside his jeans’ pocket for a moment. Your eyes bug open as your realise that this is IT, he is proposing, DAMN why didn’t you get a manicure last Saturday!
He says some beautiful words, you joyously accept and then your soon-to-be-husband pulls out his phone. Facebook needs to know you’re engaged, right? Status update time.
Social media is changing everything about the way we communicate and interact with each other. But are we sacrificing the quality of our communication with each other, in pursuit of quantity? We got together six of our favourite Mamamia personalities and asked them to solve this life problem over a few beers at the Watson’s Bay Hotel.
Here’s what they came up with.
Supported by Lion.

Pardon the pedantry, but " ... jeans' pocket"? You mean his jeans owned their pocket?
The apostrophe is still there!!!!!! Please take it out? Please? : )
I am totally guilty of this! I'm always being told that I spend to much time time on my phone and not enough time joining in on the conversation! Woops.
