It is hard not to notice it. It is everywhere – it is pervasive – simply, virtually everyone’s’ addiction to social media. You cannot go anywhere without seeing it. It is not only strangers, but just as likely the person you’re with – their incessant and compulsive perusing of the digital screen.
The other day when with some friends, all suffering from this social dilemma, I found myself needing to excuse myself to go to the restroom, not for the obvious reasons, but to find a mirror. I thought for a minute I had become invisible and needed reassurance that I could still be seen.
What a relief – I was visible – small comfort, but nonetheless reassuring.
