Sounds stupid, but since the walkman was introduced back at the early 80s, more and more people are trying to create small private spaces around them, isolating themselves from others. So yeah seeing images with people either poking on their handhelds, mobie phones or ipods, i would say bigger cities in japan and other cities worldwide have alot of escape-artists ^^.
