I see a lot of kids/teens walking around doing this.

I think perhaps they don’t know how phones work as phones.

A couple weeks ago I saw a high schooler asking friends to grab his phone, but they couldn't hear him. So he mimed typing with his thumbs.

....

How did we lose holding a handset to your ear as the pantomime for phone???? I've heard Nirvana on the classic rock station and it didn't make me feel as old as this.

My neice asked me "Dad says you only had internet on the phone when you were my age, but I also only have internet on my phone. I don't get it."

That hurt me SO much.
