Virtual World
Walking down the streets in Toronto, it's rare to see someone who does not have a smartphone in their hands, is talking on one, or is texting on it. I've heard people in open conversation on their phones while standing in a crowd, hear ringtones of every description in the quietest of places, and observed people bumping into each other because their heads are down into their screens.
We seem to be paying attention to everything and everyone through our screens - getting closer and closer to living in a virtual world.
