I had a strange moment of synchronicity on the train yesterday when all my digital devices decided to run out of juice at the same time: so no MP3 player, no mobile phone and no Blackberry.
The sense of disconnection I felt freaked me out a bit. Not so much the disconnection itself, but the fact I was feeling that way: it was only a 35 minute journey after all.
Have we become so beholden to our gadgets, gizmos, widgets etc., and the sense of (supposed) connection they bring, that we can't cope without them?
Sad really, given that we are surrounded by people all the time, and it's probably only at those moments of 'disconnection' that we really become connected to the world around us...if only we could see it.
