> But people would come over and socialize and not be glued to screens. And we have data that things have changed dramatically.

My wife and I are moderately social with diverse groups of friends. I haven't been to a party where guests were glued to screens in years.

I can think of a few, but they were so uninteresting that we didn't prioritize future events with those people. Why would I spend my limited free time hanging out with people who don't want to socialize?

Thinking back, those people probably think that staring at phones at social events is just what people do, so it was okay. When you don't see your friend group self-selecting into a bubble of people with shared beliefs and behaviors, you think everything around you is how everyone in the world operates.
