/ˈfəbiNG/

the practice of ignoring one's companion or companions in order to pay attention to one's phone or other mobile device.

“Many” is used with countable plural nouns like “children” and “students.” “Much,” on the other hand, can only be used with uncountable nouns like “money” or “homework.” “A lot” can be used with both.

Let's Study:

While "How are you?" asks for a statement of a person's condition, "How are you doing?" asks for a more detailed answer. This is a more casual form of greeting that can also mean "How's it going?", "How's your day been so far?" - aimed to find out how things are in general or whether everything is fine.
