Just yesterday I thought I'd test that out with an Asian girl I saw. I was outside standing there, and she was about 5 feet from me with headphones on, and staring down at her phone the whole time. I walked up to her and ended up talking for 15 minutes.
Electronics are not killing sociability, the only thing killing sociability are the people too lazy to start a conversation.

Laziness implies someone not doing something that they are obligated to do. I would agree with you if you were referring to work or school situations but talking to some random person in public is not an obligation. Therefore choosing not to do so isn't a sign of laziness.
Sometimes that flies and sometimes you get the snappy, did you not read the signs, or don't bother me I'm busy shtick. Shrug. Personally I can't be bothered wasting time on playing Russian roulette, so I'll stick to saying top o the mornin to geriatrics.
I admit I am somewhat shy but I have been working it. I am a member of a moderately large art association photography group. Our biweekly meeting usually has twenty to thirty members attending. I can speak with anyone there. when I first joined I couldn't talk to anyone. this is also why I was able to converse with the woman on the subway. I still have room for improvement however.

Everyone has room for improvement. If someone says differently, he's full of himself.
The fact that you're taking initiative to try to work on your issue with communication with people says a lot, compared to some of the posters here on this site.
If you keep working at it, you'll get there, even it takes more time than you hope.

1. That's not correct.
2. If someone wants something but doesn't put in the effort, it's a perfect example of laziness.
