Don't even think about taking away crosswords from Grammy.

Something I do fairly often from my phone is post on Castanet. It's probably one of the biggest time wasters I use my phone for, and I post almost exclusively from it.

That said, there are numerous non-millenials on the forums who post far more often than I do.

So I wonder, would it be fair to say they're glued to their computers? What difference does the device through which I post matter?

It doesn't matter what they use untill it starts to affect other people.
Driving while texting.
Walking out into traffic while texting.
Walking into people etc while texting.
You get where I'm coming from and this is not only millennials but I do believe they are some of the worst.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Teenagers will walk out into traffic with or without a smartphone.
