phubbing

Albert Einstein once said, " I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."  Maybe his concern is really happening right now in this generation.

"Phubbing" as a pervasive and annoying behavior is the act of ignoring the person in front of you in favor of your smart phone.

It is a new word coined from "phone" and "snub"( which means to treat sb. rudely, especially by intentionally ignoring them when you meet"

Are you a smartphone addict who finds it hard not to use your smartphone or have you ever been phubbed?
Well, I find myself sort of a phubber sometimes and decide to put down my phone in social events.

you can download a poster for your store or write an e-mail as a phubbing intervention to help your friends or customers to break the bad habit and bring their conversation back.
