Sitting in a waiting room today, I looked around and realized there was no conversation going on. Across the entire room I counted 17 people. They were all engaged with hand held devices. The handful of children were clustered around their parent’s devices.
Nobody was reading a magazine or newspaper. Nobody was talking. It was eerie. A room full of people and no eye contact, no conversation, no engagement.
It was spooky.
