Exactly. Or maybe you are, but you're not really totally present in whatever that other thing is that you're doing.

Yeah, you know, it's funny. There's actually in the research, psychologists have kind of come up with all these different names for that exact phenomenon because it is so common. So there's a word called technoference, meaning technology and interference. Typically that's used in like parenting work.

So where technology is really interfering with interactions that parents are having with their kids. And then there's another term that's kind of funny called fubbing, which is basically phone and snubbing. meaning typically used in more like partner and friend kind of research.

So thinking about when we're on our phones and in the presence of friends or partners and that is in some ways, you know, we're snubbing them because we're not giving them our full attention.

And there is some evidence that, unsurprisingly, that that experience can have negative impacts on the relationship, on our sense of connection and relationship quality, but also on our mood and our well-being. I think we often think that spending that time on our screens is going to make us feel better or less bored or whatever it might be.

But actually, it does tend to have a more negative impact on our mood.

Yeah, there's an interesting study actually that came out last year, which I think really illustrates this, where it was with college students. And they essentially had college students in a waiting room, like waiting to what they thought was participate in the actual study. But half of the students, they had wait with their phones. and half of them, they had to wait without their phones.

The students who didn't have their phones thought that they were going to feel worse, thought they were going to be bored, they thought it was going to be awkward, waiting around all these other students with no distraction of their phones. But actually in the end, unsurprisingly, they ended up feeling better.
