Draw Something- Another Reason Not to Pay Attention

Draw Something is the newest app that everyone seems to be raving about. It's an app that is much like the game Pictionary... for your phone and it allows you to connect with friends. The app recently hit 50 million downloads in 50 days according to the Mashable article.

While I am a Draw Something obsessed player just as much as the next person, I'm not sure apps like these are such a great thing. Yes, they keep us entertained. Yes, they're fun to use to connect to friends. Yet, what are they keeping us entertained during? Are you picking up your phone during a conversation to draw your next stick figure?

I think apps like these will be the downfall of face-to-face socialization as we know it, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
