I know, I get that a lot. You are looked upon as an alien being, young people are nonplussed. Not just the young. I was at a board meeting once when I announced that I could not take texts, and that led to the cellphone thing, next thing I knew the president of the organization was proposing that monies be allocated towards buying a phone for poor, pitiful me. Oy. Academia, yeah. I could teach college classes tomorrow, I am in a town where I could walk into the job, but I don't care to teach a room full of kids looking at their phones more or less continually. The grandkids in Scotland attended a school where NO cellphones were allowed, from the headmaster on down. It cost the earth to send them there, but has paid off. They are now teenagers, and rarely touch their phones. They prefer books.
