I remember the first time I traveled to a large city when Bluetooth headphones had first become the rage. I saw a man walking down the street arguing loudly with himself. At first I thought he was “one of those” but then I saw another person talking to themselves and another and another and I began to spot the phones in their ears. It still is disconcerting to be standing next to someone who says “Hello?” and you are not supposed to respond. Now a new set of technologies will add gesturing in the air and poking ourselves as a new set of social norms. I’m not sure I’m ready…
