From an email that Android wrote in 1999:
" It used to be that people were friendly enough that it was possible to meet people anywhere and everywhere you went, all throughout your day. Now, people think you're some kind of freak if you just come up out of nowhere in the middle of a department store or on the street and introduce yourself. Back in the 1800's, you were a rude little asshole if you didn't go around introducing yourself, especially to ladies. This is one backwards century, that's for sure. "
