That would have been difficult, given that cell phones were still decades away. But what is this griping about those things all about anyway? If it's OK to talk to people who are nearby but not to people who are elsewhere, then surely old-fashioned telephones and even more old-fashioned mail are also evil. If reading books or the news on one's phone is bad, then what about people reading physical newspapers or books in public? Is playing a game on one's phone worse than playing solitaire with a physical deck of cards? Or (my personal favorite) is doing crossword puzzles on one's phone worse than doing them on paper?
