    I think that many among the generation in their 20s-30s have basically lost any sense of common courtesy--in their electronic world in which they have always lived, courteous interactions with real people face-to-face were almost entirely supplanted by pms and emails to autonomous strangers somewhere far out in the interweb galaxy...and when they lost interest in the conversation they didn't see any need to say "goodbye" or "thank you" since they never felt any sense of connection with or obligation to the humans on the other end. It wasn't a civil conversation it was strictly a business transaction. So they simply wandered away to listen to their ipods. Get used to it, it is soon to be all the rage.
