Why naturally? I know and see lots of people in that age group that are not tied to their phone.

If I'm out with friends it is normal to see all of our phones sitting on the table. Depending on who I'm with I'll answer most texts opr calls if I deem them to be important.

By bolding "norm" in normal I am not sure if you actually think it is clever or you reason like a 13 year old girl. I am also not certain which would be worse.

If I'm out with people who are my superiors (bosses, parents, etc..) then I generally keep my phone away but on vibrate. If I get a text Ill look at it when I have the chance. If its a phone call I'll see who's calling and if I have to take it I'll politely excuse myself. Although with the industry I'm in and my Dad, people from the older generation are generally worse for being rude with their phones (in my experience). It is impossible to talk with my dad if his phone is on him.

I have no use for people who use their phones at inappropriate times.

Pretty much what you said but the problem is that society has not quite worked out what is and is not appropriate yet.

When you can be accessed anywhere via phone, text, email, whatever, this is the nature of our world now.

It is not the nature of our world - it is a choice.
