Before phones everyone was reading newspapers.
- mattlondon 2y agoYep people miss this a lot I think. The commuter trains used to be literally littered with discarded newspapers. Now it is a novelty to see one at all as people read things on their phones instead. People just don't like being bored (funnily enough). We didn't live in some utopia before smartphones and 3g where everyone was nice and spoke to the person sitting next to each other in genuine conversation for their entire journeys. People were still selfish and rude. If a stranger (cluse is in the word there - strange-er... And that word has been around longer than phones) struck up a conversation with you on the bus or train you changed seat or carriage at the EARLIEST opportunity even then.
