Ends of Civilization

Here is a tip for all of you overstimulated masses:

If you are having lunch with someone and you...

a) have iTunes blaring down your eardrums
b) are googling stuff via Wi-Fi
c) are both talking on cell phones to different people
d) are partaking in any combination of the previous three options

...then you are not having lunch with anybody but yourself!

Discuss.

So, were these people having lunch with the Neanderthal, or just with each other?

Wrong. They were having lunch with nobody.

Perhaps they were engaging the whole of electronicized mass culture in a ritualistic "lunch date" that corresponds to what people of every time and culture have done socially since we (in the collective-of-all-humanity sense) first escaped from the sea and started growing legs. You know, archetypes and evolution and stuff. Thoughts?
