Try to walk in any street in London these days and your safety is in jeopardy; unless you keep a keen eye out for the approach of other pedestrians; for they all advance toward you, head bent in a kind of quasi religious servility to their smart phones. So passively we have come to accept that in a quite frightening short time span, we have all been digitally lobotomised and that surveillance Capitalism is watching our every move - including what time I leave home and get out my car and all in the name of that God, Advertising! Now where is that prescient Orwell book I was reading.
