You will never see someone sitting at a bar, alone with their thoughts under the age of 30. Therein lies the enormous appeal of the smartphone, we are seemingly never alone. Which makes it less likely for someone to sit next to us and strike up a conversation. Which perpetuates our actual loneliness.

I have this experience every time I feel lonely and go have a drink or a crappy meal at a bar. The truly sad part is that I try for a while, but eventually I give up, take out my own phone, and drown my thoughts when I realize I'm not going to connect to any of the real humans around me.
