I don't know about 1974, I wasn't born yet. But, 2024 looks right.

Two panels. Top pane labeled 1974 shows a lively bar with a band playing and people gathered around tables with beers smiling and talking with each other. Bottom pane labeled 2024 shows a boring bar with people sitting alone at the bar. Tables with only one person sitting at each. Everyone is looking down at their phones.

I put that in same vein as the suggestion that people don’t talk while commuting. In the 90s, people used walkmans, books, and newspapers instead of smartphones to ignore each other.

True, true. Now we have our Walkmans, books and newspapers *in* our smartphones for a variety of ways to ignore people. Hehe.

Right! A few times, I took a portable DVD player on the train and bus. Used it to watch the 90s Flash show on the commute. Good times!
