Summary | Young people nowadays cannot flirt anymore. They are constantly tied to their smartphones - 57 hours per week a recent study says - and do not pay attention to what is going on around them. They are more comfortable communicating via a medium than face-to-face. Many girls lament on social media how there are no available boys. Young boys should look up form their phones more often - the girls would be grateful.

Summary | Smartphones have revolutionized social life. They promise us that we will never be alone again if we stay online. We are always connected wia social media, we can communicate with select people directly by speaking, texting them, or sending them images and video. While we are all digitally connected, we become more isolated face-to-face. On the street, nobody interacts anymore. Smartphones have also begun to be our matchmakers thanks to Tinder and seemingly intuitive swiping which is rather learned in reality.
