Tycon Insights

If you think about it the world is an amazing place. We are so determined to communicate with each other that we design devices smaller and smaller for conveniences like cell phones and netbooks. The funny thing is we are in a room full of people texting and communicating with people that are not in the room. Somehow that just rings strange to me. I was at lunch and was sitting at a table watching this phenomenon when a girl came up and sat beside another lady. The girl sat there for quite a few moments but the lady was engrossed in a conversation on her laptop. When the girl said something to her she jumped almost dropping her laptop. She explained that she did not see her and she uses her laptop to talk to her friends while at lunch the young girl responded that she used her lunch for making new friends! They now have lunch together everyday and have became friends. I wonder if we put down our personal devices for a few minutes everyday would we notice more around us. Of course then we would want to text our friends to tell them what we saw so I guess it would not work!
