LOL! But, really, not much has changed other than portability. Every generation has its distractions that are a mystery to the previous generation. I remember my dad telling me the earbud for my transistor radio would start growing out of my ears if I didn't take it out every now and then..and I wasn't allowed to listen during supper! *GASP* But then, his generation had their own type of cell phone.

I wonder if pedestrians in your dad's time had to zig-zag along the pavement, trying to avoid on-coming newspaper readers? Did they do the crossword while hurrying to the subway?

@jkuvakas I can understand the cartoon section being a priority for commuters but it's downright unsafe to not focus on your surroundings otherwise.

Point made JK! There must have been many pedestrian collisions with resulting paper fires as almost everyone smoked back then!

In spite of his court imposed bail conditions Saul risked being fed to the lions; his attraction to the concubine Rizpah was that overwhelming.
