Oblivious? by ajisaac

Oblivious?

Our world, therefore, by default, our lives we are being told, are becoming more interconnected as every year goes by...

...yet in this so called greater inter-connectivity there are so many people who are oblivious to one another. People who sail passed others like ships in the night, giving no time or thought to make a connection with the one they are about to approach.

Is it fear, is it thought of rejection, is it disinterest, is it some other reason why eye contact is never made, or a word spoken?

This small shot of our world shows two of these people apparently oblivious to each other world.
One caught up in a world of his own and one caught up with the importance of an object in her hands.

Will they ever meet cross each others path again and if they do what will be their reaction?

A good capture of modern ways. I expect he had his earplugs in under his hoodie. It's a shame isn't it? Though i think the girl on the right has clocked you!

Great street shot!! Love your dialogue behind it. You are right. No one pays any attention to their surrounding anymore.

@Cherrill Thank you such much for your comments. Modern ways- i quite agree -real shame. Not sure about the little girl (on the left), maybe she has spotted me!

@dishaparekh176 Thank you - I really appreciate your comments. Yes most people are not aware of their surroundings as they have their head stuck in their phones!!! (I often stand still in one position in the middle of one of the indoor shopping areas and wait to see how many people realize I am there before bumping into me or having a near miss due to being engrossed in their phone screens!!! ).
