I'm more than a little introverted. Still seeing kids/young adults glide through the day with phone in hand and earbuds always in strikes me as not right somehow. Maybe I was raised differently. There's a difference between shyness and rudeness, I like to think. Also you never know when you might need to ask for something.

We've noticed the same thing, people being outside but not present to their surroundings and totally involved instead to the hyper-reality of the internet. What appears to be rudeness, and I agree that's a point, is in actuality an addiction for many users of the tech. It's sad too that so much od the real world is being missed.
Addiction is a pretty apt diagnosis. And it's a concern because it means that a lot of people are technically present in the world - you know, in a physical sense - but absenting themselves from it beyond that. Missing a lot of bad and also a lot of good.
