We are becoming a culture of down lookers. Did it start with emo-shoe-gazer music? Could that have been the primordial seed of the smartphone? Regardless, look around and see how many people are looking down at their phones? Never noticed that before? I wonder why...
Nothing against smartphones, I'm using one right now for this blog entry. But what is the "mind" behind looking down all the time? We avoid eye contact by looking down. We look down on others. We can't see the sky when we look down.
I'm not saying we should bring back "up with people" or anything, but maybe "look up, there's people" could be a new hit.
