Because innovation has taken it away from us. People text more than they talk on a phone. People communicate via typing as we do here. I sat on a train a few mornings ago and watched 9 out of 10 people were too busy with their phones glued to their hands. I did not see anyone having a conversation. I grew up taking trains and buses in NYC and people would talk. Men would rap to women and so on. I don't see that anymore. we have evolved backwards.

I shouldn’t be obliged to talk to anyone public because our cell phones are dead.
I’m not enticed about meeting new people.

@Dateless I met plenty of old friends like that. We spoke on a bus or a train where we met for the first time and life goes on. I went to speak to a person on the train and the person looked at me as if I was disturbing them from listening to their music. Is this what society has come to ?

@ChatterinSeuss Talking on a cell phone on a train or bus is a major social faux pas in Japan if not literally against the law. I love Japanese culture!
