The Social Media Device
Have you ever noticed those urban zombies in the cities, in public transport? Don't worry, not the George Romero ones. The white earplug zombies. People listening to music with headphones, sitting apathetically in the trains with an empty gaze, or walking through the streets and running through parks unaware of the people around them. Luckily, they're not after brains, but their lust for social status gives them an almost equal relation to humanity.
Now, as socialising becomes more and more technical – and it doesn't look as if this evolution would change in the near future –, let's think of something to help these zombies find a way to reconnect (if unplugging the headphones is not an option).
