Do we more love smart phones than our partners?

I was having lunch in a restaurant, when a married couple sitting near my table came into my sight. Although it was not my intention to glance at them, I found myself doing it involuntarily and noticed that the couple were having their lunch without sharing any single word each other. The husband's eyes were fixed into a smart-phone that, from the sound I could hear, might be showing a video he may not want to miss. The wife, however, just having her lunch with great effort, using only one hand since she was cuddling a baby in the other hand. The scene I captured at that moment will be something I would never forget and will remain in my mind for a long time as a reminder of one of the disadvantages that modern conveniences have brought us.
