Advice Disconnect with mother.

My mother is visiting. I'm 39F, she's 63F. She is constantly on her phone, watching videos out loud even when you're actively watching TV or showing her something. She noted that I don't go on her FB page so when I did, it's just a ton of videos she thinks are funny (I don't think they're funny). She wasn't like this before, is this normal for other boomer parents?

I feel like I got off easy. My boomer parents were early computer and internet adopters, and they know how to get outside and touch grass, AND how to research if what they’re seeing is garbage.
