If you've ever tried to have a meaningful conversation with someone who is tech-obsessed, you know how futile your efforts can be. It doesn't help that they're hunched over, heads down, their darting eyes can't focus on yours (when they deign to look up from their BlackBerrys) and they nod a lot at random times to give the impression that they're listening, but are so clearly not. They may either apologize for their manic thumbs with an "I'm sorry, I just have to answer this email" or forgo social etiquette altogether and just type away in your presence.
