Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston believes "Friends" would have failed miserably today as people are glued to their mobiles and don't have time to talk to each other.

The 48-year-old actress, who played the spoilt brat- turned-ambitious woman Rachel Green, opened up about the impact of social media, in a podcast interview with Arianna Huffington for Thrive Global Podcast With iHeartRadio.

"Now you have a computer, a television, and a phone. There's no room. We were jokingly saying that if 'Friends' was created today, you would have a coffee shop full of people that were just staring into iPhones. There would be no actual episodes or conversations," says Aniston.
 

She also says she feels anxious watching her husband Justin Theroux dabble through Instagram.

Aniston says, "It's kind of a little bit out of sight out of mind... But then you find yourself the only one that doesn't have it and there's no one to talk to, because everyone's head is stuck in their phone.
