So I was reminiscing on how technology and phones has taken away the place of good companion, friendships , moments together after I and a couple of friends organised a eat and meet get together to share good times

So the venue was a small family friendly restaurant with a booking of 10 people

Lots of games had been lined out. I could swear my head was filled with fantasies of how a bomb.. laughter and moments we were up for

People arrived and after all introduction we were sitter..games started. It was funny to see how everyone was stuck to their phone

At every point you barely will find almost half of people scrolling through their phones . It was meant to be s together time but phones took over

The food was getting cold no one was eating

Everyone was on their phones.. probably Iging.. tweeting or something online

I wanted to eat but didn't want to look like Olounjeiya since everyone was glued to their phone.. I was so angry

I know I could not tell people to drop their phones and focus on the humans there

Then I had a flashback to where there were not much phones . Where together meant a thing..where you'd hang out and enjoy real company and not be stuck to the virtual friendships online

Anyways the boring get together was about to end .. people started giving a smirk of a smile after the whole thing was Ending

They got stuck to their phones again 🤦 probably ordering Ubers and Bolts or calling their drivers of something

Well I learnt a lesson

Heaven knows if any get together..doesn't have

A ..Don't use your phone at the party note..or keep your phone away
Or focus on the physical people and virtual friends later

I'm never attending..Total waste of precious time
