    I sense there is a generation shift because literally everyone I see that’s under 25 has airpods in or is looking at their phone while in public. You can’t even interact irl anymore.

      I remember a picture of a train from “the good old days” where everyone was with their face in a newspaper and not interacting with anyone.

      I remember reading about complaints against younger generations spending too much time reading novellas rather than living in the real world and interacting with people (was around the time the industrial printing press was invented).
