Barely a moment in western life passes without mediation by electronic screens. In our hands, to our eyes, in our pockets, all pervasive technology is seen by some techno-utopians as a liberating force for good. But by less-sanguine accounts, it is seen as a disruptive force of unfettered capitalism transforming humanity into 24/7 consumers, mediated through "social" media that is anything but. Either way, it's becoming normal to never look up.
