nosocialize

to nosocialize is to not be social in social settings due to electronic devices.

to NOT socialize due to electronic devices.

1. Having dinner with friends, but not speaking to them, one would text their friend instead. My response would be to stop nosocializing.

2. Being involved with socializing with people who are not present while people are present. Don't nosocialize at Thanksgiving Dinner.
