Interesting assumption there, but I’m Gen X. Analog childhood, digital adulthood. I love my computers but I tend to forget I even have a smartphone for most of my day.
If you think pedestrians with phones are so terrible for wanting to listen to music or talk on them while moving slowly though, I don’t know what to tell you about people who are all armored up in a fast-moving vehicle. That said, I guarantee you more folks will give you the eye contact you crave if you get out of your car (unless they’re neurodivergent or they were raised in a culture where eye contact is threatening or intimidating).
