Whenever I go to waiting rooms at doctor's offices, I am always struck by the large number of people reading great literature instead of staring dully into a smartphone.
Tolstoy, Proust, and Dickens are the usual distractions but it's also possible to spot the works of Shakespeare, Twain, and Steinbeck. More than a few, of course, are immersed in the novels of Agatha Christie or Elmore Leonard but they are in the minority.
Later on, when I report this to the doctor, there is always intense interest in how long I've been noticing such things.

Chuck,
Just joking!
In reality, I am stunned at how many people are staring at smartphones.
