Mrbaseball's assessment is pretty accurate. When I'm out walking, I say hello to people or smile. It's mostly older people who acknowledge my existence.
There's something known as phatic communication. Basically it's smalltalk, such as How's the weather? or How are you doing? Simply, it's a way to establish communication, to recognize the humanity of others. It's not merely empty talk.
