Same experience in a European country. Parents didn't get a TV for the home when we were kids. Now neither parent can eat full meal or hold a conversation without looking at something from their phones, even when they have guests over. I spend WAY too much time online as well, but I make sure I do not take out my phone during meals, when talking to someone, etc.
