Oh good point. There is something sort of acceptable about seeing some one reading and interrupting in a nice way to inquire about the book. Is it acceptable to see some one on their smart phone and inquiring about what they are looking at?
- codyb 13y agoHmm, you know I suppose it probably is totally acceptable to do that. What weirds me out is the fact that so many things on smart phones are totally personal including texts, e-mails, accounts for things like facebook. Also the inclusion of headphones into the mix makes everything a lot more difficult. Which also says something in a way... if the brain can only really do one task at a time[1], and in every down time moment people (and these are the down time moments, after classes or work, or whatever else they were engaged in) they're both listening to music and juggling between a bunch of different apps on their phone... just curious about the implications to the psyche.
