This is called “phubbing.”
(And, yes this is a photo of poor quality. I was trying to be casual about capturing an image of three people at one table all on their phones.)
It means you are snubbing others for your phone. I learned this word from one of our dinner friends. One of them also pointed out that I was doing the same thing by taking this picture.
Phubbing, I think, is one of those words that will be hard to forget, one that will rush right to the top of your mind when you see it happening.
Some of the latest Samford data:
I found that poster on a wall in the administration building while on my way to a meeting. Pretty impressive numbers when you think about it.
Here are a few more numbers, but less impressive. This evening I got in a 21 mile bike ride. It was humid and overcast. It was 65 degrees. Almost chilly in the breeze. There’s probably a few more warm days ahead, and certainly a lot of pleasant ones. But this was the first day when the change of seasons became inevitable.
