Move - "Phoneless - Around" - Ment 1 - 3

So.. as an experiment for school, me and my schoolmates were interested in how smartphones nowadays slightly silently change our perception of time and space. While we're in a room, it's easy to visually exit the room through your phone; just give in to the gaze and disolve. Our smartphones nowaday are becoming more and more an excuse to get out, to choose not to talk in public, to choose not to participate in public. We are trapped between the flow of statusupdates, never ending WhatsApp conversations and real life experiences. We live in a 'share-culture' where time is not just a matter anymore of the 'linear but time is an compilation of statusupdates from yesterday and lastweek overlapping eachother, waiting to be read by us. Wasn't it just more fun to share things in public, face-to-face with your friends? We simple care to much about that goddamn phone. We have the urge to be constantly available, reachable. Often I see girls sitting next to eachother while lunchin' and talking about what happens on Facebook while they're both looking to the same update on their own phones! Where it simply went to far for me was a week or so ago. A girl was sitting on her bike, I guess on her way to school. She was busy with her phone and was certainly not paying attention to the road or anything else that happened around her... and then.. *TOEEEEEET*
If the busdriver was also caught up in his phone talking to his wife about his goddamn brainkilling job, this would end up in a catastrophic accident. Luckily, the busdriver was doing his job and cursed at the girl. Of course.. the girl didn't hear anything because 'she was so busy with her phone' and drove on..
For me.. this was the begin of the end. Phone-Apocolypse.
