Great shot. I don't know what others find so sad about it.
Before the mobile era, I wasn't wildly interacting with strangers at a bus stop either (nor do I now). People were reading something, and I didn't want a big conversation either. Now they are maybe communicating with others, listening to music - what's bad about this?
Ha funny, not.....So I thought everyone was on their phone except for the girl 2nd from the right, but then I noticed her headphones. This is such a common sight these days it's quite saddening. I'm not sure this title is the best for this image. I saw some lyrics that would better fit this photo, something about how people are always spending their time on phones. Good find nevertheless.
