What does this imply? Well it means that when Mr. Textallthetime goes out to meet this girl he's always been texting, he doesn't know what to do in person. This may not happen to everyone but I have no doubts that it's becoming more prevalent in society.
I have said this before but I'll say it again, I have a pet peeve that when I'm on a date and the girl whips out her phone just to text and call, she's wasting my time. I give her the respect because I see her once a week I don't want to see her behind that screen. I want to see her face and it's rather disrespectful because I'm left there doing nothing while she texts her friend.
You may or may not agree with this but you can't deny phones are not taking over some of our lives. Kids nowadays get their phones so early in their lives it's not even funny.

THIS. Huge pet peeve of mine as well. For me it goes the same for some of my buddies, ALWAYS on facebook, bbm, whatsapp when we get together for a night out or whatever. If you're gonna sit on your phone half the night, do it on your own time.
