Got me. After going thru the Neue Museum, where there’s a splendid show on Vienna 1900, the Met, where the 11 Franz Hals they own were on display along with paintings/etc., to set them in context and a huge number of Lyonel Feininger’s people (superb) and cityscapes (not so) were on display, I decided that adults text and talk on the phone to have a social experience that looking at art does not supply. Tant pis.
You're the psychologist, but I believe it is more to do with avoiding any sort of social experiance, rather then trying to find a different one as suggested. In the same way, dog owners in my local dog park text/call/play on their phones rather then interact with other owners - or their dog.
