I completely admit to burying my nose in the old iphone at the dog park. I'm socially awkward and sometimes there are people there who have a high propensity to tweak out if you say the wrong thing to them, only because I am the wrong type of person(swm) to dare exist in society in this day and age. People have trolled me trying to get in a political discussion and it's easier to let them go off on one another without me being involved. I just stare at the tiny screen and whistle while repeating the mantra "I can't hear you I can't hear you".
On the issue of car safety and distraction:
Basic mechanical controls you could *touch and feel* have been replaced by push screens and multiple menu levels of navigation for basic tasks.
Little known fact is that Siri is actually Tim the Enchanter and you have to respond with the average wingspeed of a swallow in Latin.
Try doing that in heavy traffic.
[Yeah I'm talking to you, Toyota Prius, and all four generations of your unsafe crap I've driven.]
[I still prefer the paper map because it works the way it is supposed to.]
