Y’all forgot that newspapers and magazines used to exist, huh?
You know there’s a difference. Nowadays, many people are glued to their phones because of addictive apps like TikTok and Instagram. I can’t imagine that newspapers had the same effect.
I dunno, there are a lot of tv shows and movies from the pre-internet era that depict parents lost in their newspapers and totally oblivious to what their kids are doing.
This is making me feel so old. It reads like you’re using historical documents to learn what people did before phones
I’m mid-forties, so I remember it well, except my recollection isn’t really proof that it happened, and my parents weren’t neglectful. In fact, all my memories of my parents were that they would stop what they were doing to talk to us. So I remember it being a common complaint, but it wasn’t my experience.
Having grown up in this era, I can say with 100% certainty that this was the case.
Ok, boomer

This seems to have hit too close to home.
Look don’t judge them, anything goes in the airport cafe.
