Description

I’m glad they are keeping up with technology, but I’m also concerned that their phone use may have a negative impact on their social health.

DEAR ABBY: My young daughter and I had the pleasure of spending three months with my parents while my husband was deployed. We had a lovely visit, but over the course of our stay, I noticed my parents were spending more time on their phones than previously. Both are retired and in their mid-60s.
