That Essay Would Have Been Terrible Anyway

yourmonkeycalled:

A friend is going through a tough time right now. Last night I consoled him and offered advice, while simultaneously browsing for a new camera case on my iPhone.

It occured to me to write a long essay about how that scenario points to the increasing fragmentation of our attention and the threat that technology poses to real-world relationships. But really it just means I’m an asshole.

This is so true, not the ahole part but how smart phones are making awkward silences 10 times longer.
