We’re now all in the grip of “FOMO addiction” — the fear of missing out on something or someone more interesting, exciting or better than what we’re currently doing.
我们现在都是“社交控”(FOMO:fear of missing out),在忙于眼前事的时候,总是害怕会错过更有趣或者更好的人和事。
Teens and adults text while driving, they interrupt one call to take another, even when they don’t know who’s on the other line. They check their Twitter stream while on a date, because something more interesting or entertaining just might be happening.
It’s not “interruption,” it’s connection. But it’s not really “connection” either. It’s the potential for simply a different connection. It may be better, it may be worse — we just don’t know until we check.
