Is this true? What do you think?

Does cell phone use really affect our communication skills? ... It provides us with faster, more efficient ways to communicate with others, but it can also harm our ability to communicate with people face to face. Many complain that our new digital skills impact our ability to write properly.
I personally get very upset when going out with a friend hoping to enjoy each other’s company and then end up being three people instead of us two!
That makes me really mad!
I always keep my phone inside my purse when I am with friends!
