To be the devil's advocate for a bit? You're out of tempo. People today who are nice and social don't wait for time to be together physically and share intimately. They're too in touch with the tempo of the lives people generally lead. They would no sooner think of asking their their friends to give up FB or texting than asking them to paint their heads blue and meet in a hollow tree at the full moon.
That - ironically - is part of being nice and social in any era. You make allowances for a lot of dumb mindless stuff because it is kinder to accept others' lifestyles for what they are and go along. Not to mention that it makes others more open to you.
The back lash is not against cell phones but the substitution of phones and texting for a social life. The cell phone can complement being with others but it can't really replace being with others. People seem to have a convenience addiction with cell phones and it leads to a lot of wasted time. Every place I work at I see so many people on their cell phones and not working.
