It warmed up today so I ran a few errands on my motorcycle. Everybody I saw, young & old, had their faces smashed into their phones--people walking in parking lots, employees working in stores--it was creepy. It reminded me of the Star Trek TNG episode where the Enterprise crew was addicted to a game played in AR glasses. People were around me, but they weren't. It was like the invasion of the mind snatchers. In a lot of ways, life seemed better without the internet. Do you remember? Thoughts?
