Living in a city, I can kind of get it. The number of people who simply walk in front of my bike because they’re absorbed in their phone has made my commute stressful. I ended up installing a car horn on my bike which I’m sure makes their commute more stressful.
Perhaps the Walkman was the first time technology isolated people from the world around them.
The car horn on your bike is hilarious. Tangentially, a fun thing to try is using a bike bell on an escalator while standing behind people. We’re so conditioned to being dinged and moving aside that people do it before they even think about what’s going on.

Or I dunno, books.
