I recently saw Miranda Hart on TV say she would like to put all smart phones into Room 101 (even though she owns one). The reason? Where are the thinkers and the dreamers, staring out of train windows (and presumably the windows on other forms of transport) thinking and dreaming? Spookily similar to your cartoon, she also said that a journey for most of us these days consists of staring at a tiny screen punching buttons, whilst life passes us by. Well not me, I don't use a mobile phone, smart or otherwise. But before I get too smug, a journey for me always consists of staring at a book whilst life goes by me, so much the same really. Perhaps we should all club together now and make a pledge to put down our books and mobile phones and stare out of train windows, thinking and dreaming and looking of life as it passes us by.....

I wonder if anyone is reading this post on a phone on a train. That would be someone looking at their telephone at a picture of a drawing of a person looking at a telephone. While life goes by simultaneously physically and metaphysically. I think we need a picture of that person. Still on it, Dave, excellent.
