Travelling on public transport provides an opportunity to
indulge in a spot of people watching. Evaluating the evidence during my travels
this week, it was clear that technology is king. Fellow travellers were glued
to Blackberries, iPads or mobiles, hypnotised by the images dancing across
their screens as they texted or surreptitiously scanned a dating website,
played a game or seat-danced to over-loud music burrowing into their brains by
means of inadequate head phones. There were small pockets of resistance, myself included. I scribbled in a note-book, others read newspapers and some just chatted. But we were definitely the minority.
