Oddly enough the only time the drivers you mention don't have their heads in a device is when they r delivering to you. They are like anyone else. It is a shame. Quick story, I was at work and some Austrian men came in and I asked a coworker to sneak and use her iPhone to find out how to say hello how are you, in Austrian, she returned and said "oh, they speak English and you just say Gday mate". Really she confused Austria, which produced the worst dictator in history, Hitler, with Australia. That is our future, the younger generation can not tell the difference between a Nazi and Crocodile Dundee. The worst part is that their parents aren't teaching them to use this technology responsibly.
Yet generalising a whole two countries to two individuals totally doesn't reek of complete and utter ignorance...which seems to be the main thing you're chastising your coworker for, not the use of technology. I mean fuck, it could be as simple as mishearing the name of the country. It's hardly uncommon.
I would concede the point you make if we had not discussed that Austria was next to Germany, I was trying to educate another individual, sorry. I would never reduce any county to one individual. That is dumb. However, the diversity between nations can be a helpful tool to identify a country and their place in history and their place in our modern world. Germany elected a progressive leader that lead them into a horrible place in history as a murdering nation of millions of people. They still are a progressive people, electing the first female chancellor. Ignorance is not something I have been discribed as in my life, oh by the way the coworker and I had a good laugh about the situation and she actually learned something, silly me!
IIN that so many people have their eyes glued to a SCREEN?
