Coming home from a day with my daughter, 8:00, stop at the Kalamata Grocery...across the street, in Connaught Park, there's about 50 people standing in a circle, phones out and extended...briefly I wonder WTF, but the penny drops...by the time I get back to take a photo the crowd is dispersing.
It's surreal, this, a whole other level of engagement/disconnect from the world around you...
Pokemon-Go thing, it's quite the new craze, and I'd be curious to try if I were a bit more of a nerd and didn't give a damn about the EULA, (which is terrible, but people have long grown used to the idea of no-privacy). But it's the start of interesting things, Augmented reality, layers superimposed upon layers, there were always these layers, but it demanded a sound and reflective mind to find them, now, anyone with a cellphone and a good data plan can roam their neighborhood catching Pokemon, but there are ever the countless invisible layers they miss...
