Does Mobile Telephony Disconnect People from City Life?
(TheFeature)
-
The always-on world has the opposite problem. It is a world of freedom, but it is also a world of anonymous global forces that ceaselessly rearrange all relationships to their liking. We don't understand this world very well, but we will soon have plenty of opportunity to study it first-hand.Talking and walking on a cellphone is borderline rude. When I see people walking down the street, yakking into their clenched palm, it makes me wonder: what would that person have been doing in the days before everyone could afford a flip. Paying attention to where they were going? Acknowledging fellow passersby? When technology connects us in one way, it disconnects another.
