Not only kids struggle with this, adults too. I've seen restaurant visits where everyone puts their phone on a pile on the table, first one to ring pays the bill. Otherwise Billy couldn't stop texting his controlling partner all night.

There is more research to be done, but so far this might be a good thing: https://www.verywellmind.com/how-do-smartphones-affect-the-brain-2794892

Everybody knows how to mute their phone or turn it off, and the other end can get used to them being busy and unavailable sometimes.

I was rather referring to having nobody who would text/call me, besides my carrier, of course. But also that means I won't end up in restaurant with someone.
