You travel to meet the people and talk to them, learn from them, so stop staring at your phone and talk to the people and concentrate on the riding!!!!

Hey Mika !! It's the world we live in. The only places you meet people now are where there is no signal or WIFI.
Smartphones are great tech when on the road to check email, banking, maps etc. But it also leads to an anti-social environment. When i started travelling, campsites and hostels were fun places to meet people and interact. Now they're just zombie waiting rooms. Full of people staring at screens who don't want to talk to anybody.
I'm glad I saw a lot of the world before Facebook/instagram/twitter existed !! It seems people are more interested uploading selfies for likes than actually experiencing the places they are visiting.
