Were They All Hiding Their Ipods?

I think it was the classic movie "The Time Machine" where the main character travels through time and the people of the future have shelves of books that are falling apart and they don't know what to do with them. The character is horrified that people no longer read.

What would someone from the past feel today walking into an office where people everywhere are tuning out the world with their ipods? Would it fill someone with horror or would it intrigue him or her? Would today's fascination with computers be considered a scary evolution where people are distancing themselves from each other or would people be jealous of the quick not to mention global communication that is now easily accessible?
