Yes, lots of people whine about the fact that so many people out in public these days seem to have their heads down in their mobile phones, but as we‘ve pointed out before, things aren‘t necessarily so different than in the past:
However, Pauline Neville-Jones, the former head of the Joint Intelligence Committee in the UK, has taken this form of anti-smartphone luddism to new and even more ridiculous levels, claiming that all these people looking at their mobile phones or listening to music/podcasts in public are a public nuisance, because they‘re not watching out for terrorists. Really.
