Read the following quote:

And I find it amusing (and somewhat disconcerting) that people make
excuses to escape whoever they are supposed to be spending time with so
that they can check in with other people who may not even be real-life
friends. I like going out to dinner with friends and am bewildered at how
many people put their phone on the table and if it vibrates they interrupt
whatever is going on to tap a few keys and return to the conversation - Dr.
Larry Rosen (Huffington Post, October 2014)

What do the words in this quotation reveal about the author's viewpoint?
He believes communicating with technology is replacing in-person
communication
He accepts technology is now a part of life.
He does not understand the need for technology.
He sees technology is distancing people from each other.
