Personal signs: - Not able to drive unless taken medication since every sign, pedestrian, other cars and movement keeps you from paying attention to what is in front of you (including lights, cars and pedestrians). (Like running into a tree

How do you know they have interesting information for you? While you take the loss of them not wanting to talk, do you think the rudeness/inconsideration of talking to them uninvited? Yeah asking for directions is one thing but interru

I'm sorry, I always feel that if they are distracted by their tech and not socializing, they really don't want to socialize with you. I often use the book/phone/tech as an excuse to not socialize. I tell people to email

A bit nitpicky on one portion over an otherwise good analogy. If they library is funded by a city, the list of employees and their salaries are public knowledge. I use to work for a small town library in high school. I could see all of my

Isn't that what conferences, hacker/maker spaces, 'women in STEM' lunches are doing? My sister who was interested in math and physics in high school had a female teacher/mentor that had competitions and math clubs.
