> Every day I walk to work listening to music on my minidisc player. Looking around to all walking zombies staring down at their phones;

There were many people that made similar statements about people listening to their walkman/mini-disc/etc. "People these days can't be bothered to listen to the goin' ons around them!"

Things change over time. Today's phone focused masses will be complaining about the cybernetically enhanced AR users of the future, or whatever crazy technology comes out.
