What do you think the solution to that problem is?
Oh that's a great question, I have no idea. I'm just watching the divide happen and am glad my partner and I found each other. I'm sure it's not good for the fabric of society though. It's like we're moving further and further into isolation tendencies.
I guess the easiest solution would be the return of "handkerchief dropping" or some equivalent thing.
Pretty obvious, really, outlaw women using any kind of headphone or earbuds, or just electronic devices in general. It’s pretty sad that in this day and age that even needs pointing out.
