"To someone who is not familiar with our context, the sight of three students
‘staring into’ a screen at break might have evoked more negative
reactions — distractions, social media, games… The sort of negative reactions
that seeing three children ‘staring into’ a paper book would probably never
evoke, because to many of us paper is rigorous, scholarly and academic, whereas
screens are distractions from which nothing good could possible emerge."

Every generation loves to feel superior to "kids these days".  Via Irreverent
