One, simple, everyday "real life" situation that seems to be dominated by screens are queues.... at bus stops, in banks at checkouts. People (often) used to chat with the person next to them, or at least greet them even if a conversation didn't ensue. Now, most people have their eyes fixed on their smartphone or tablet.
Once, in a supermarket, I saw a couple with an infant in a stroller. Each parent was lost in their smartphone and when the child began to grizzle they gave it a tablet to watch cartoons.
