From Disconnection to Mindfulness

Broadcast on:

Something I'm working on more and more - phone-based snubbing, commonly known as "phubbing," is a modern social phenomenon where individuals prioritize their smartphones over face-to-face interactions with those around them. This behavior often involves ignoring or neglecting real-world conversations, gestures, or experiences in favor of digital distractions, such as texting, scrolling through social media, or checking notifications. Phubbing can lead to feelings of disconnection and frustration among friends and loved ones, highlighting the need for mindful technology usage to maintain meaningful human connections in an increasingly digital world.
