Wonder how gen alpha are going to be as adults.

Most people I notice casually, they are on their phones, mostly during times where someone would have to wait, such as a dentist waiting room for example. Of course prior to phones people tended to read the magazines provided on the waiting room table. I suppose I look weird to them because I don't have a phone so if they ever break their attention away from their phone and see me they might think I get bored or that how could someone manage without a distraction.

There seems to be an addiction there, one that only folks not addicted to phones can actually see. Add that to the content people put on the internet, which people browse on their phones and how kosher that content is. Although everyone who doesn't use a phone will eventually die off and everyone in existence will probably fall on this addiction with the inability to see it or remedy it.

Unfortunately, it feels like I am in a minority that isn't constantly glued to a phone when going out.

Even in places like McDonalds, they have iPads built into the tables for kids to play on. Granted, these are only loaded with puzzles/kids games though. Still doesn't help to give kids a break from staring at screens all the time.

Given how some people of our generation and one just after ours, I'm terrified. 

Yeah never been a fan content targeting at children. Too many weirdos, whether it is intentional or not. I know there are those that genuinelly try to keep it clean as possibe, but it is usually the ones who set a bad example and misbehave that get the most views usually. Also I dislike fake people, and children are easy to manipulate. While us adults know better and look out for red flags.
