I certainly agree that people walk around with their noses in their phone. I see it every day. I also see many more people with earbuds, but I live in a neighbourhood that has an abundance of joggers. The thing that I disagree with is the phone a cause of the social disengagement that we see on the street. There are people who are disengaged because of this technology, yet it is a far cry from the majority of them. Are phones a symptom of social disengagement, sure. But how do you explain all of those people who aren't engaged with their surroundings yet aren't hiding behind technology?
