“People aren’t ever in the moment,” I chime in, imagining the hordes who travel trillions of miles only to lodge a screen between their eyes and the very thing they’ve crossed oceans to experience. “We have to plan and scheme and shop the best deal, and when we arrive, the first order of business is to collapse the experience and stuff it into our phones. Instant gratification isn’t good enough. We have to save it for later since we’re sooo busy.”
