> I'm not seeing a lot of people talking on the phone outside.

Sure, that's down a lot as calling in general has dropped off. It was a Whole Thing early on. Especially people on earbud+mic combos or headsets.

>Texting in public was never an issue. Not sure what you mean here.

This and the call thing were a big deal in pop culture, even if the circles you ran in between about 2005-2013 weren't bothered by them (many were bothered).

> Questions like what song is running are mundane.

99% of what normal people use the Internet for is mundane. And that may be understating it.

As for the rest—I guess if you can't see it you can't see it. The use cases are endless (like, think bigger with the QR codes—not just linking to menus, but cueing AR to replace entire surfaces with something else; now apply that "think bigger" to everything else you dismissed) And maybe I'm wrong! But I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big deal.
