We used to have to stare around the room uncomfortably in awkward social situations.
Now we have the cellphone — an endless tool of distraction and exclusion in any place, at any time, in any situation that demands discomfort.
Waiting rooms bloom cellphones like tumours.
Even if there’s nothing doing on said phone — no messages, no games, nothing to do or say — scrolling through names is enough to avoid making eye contact or (heaven forbid!) striking up a conversation.
The irony, of course, is that the cellphone that turns us into miniature orbiting suns simultaneously connects us 24/7 with those we love. Huh.
