In my case I was just on two American planes where absolutely everyone
</div>
<div>
was on their phone, tablet, or laptop. In one walk to the bathroom at
</div>
<div>
the back of the plane, in the middle of the afternoon, there were
</div>
<div>
three conversations going on, about 5% people working, the rest all
</div>
<div>
watching a different show (not a single shared experience). I sat next
</div>
<div>
to someone from an VR company that did project management there who
</div>
<div>
spent the entire trip texting (with TWO phones) over the viasat
</div>
<div>
service ($15/hr) to dozens and dozens of people. Max time off the
</div>
<div>
phone was no more than 15 seconds, long enough to open a cracker. She
</div>
<div>
seemed to never have an internet issue (though with all the
</div>
<div>
multitasking perhaps the latencies were hidden). I finally got a word
</div>
<div>
in edgewise on landing... I had great hope she knew what a packet was,
</div>
<div>
but she didn´t. She grokked "latency", had not heard of bufferbloat.

The new movie Maestro is really excellent, btw. I watched some of it
</div>
<div>
from between the seats ahead of me, with my head otherwise down trying
</div>
<div>
to block out all the internet access around me.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
While I worry all the more about all we have done to humanity´s
</div>
<div>
ability to communicate physically and with strangers I wish y'all a
</div>
<div>
merry christmas and a happy new year, with your families!
