@narayani I'm rarely plugged into a device. Actually, since I retired, I'm never plugged into a device. At home I can let them play out loud. Outside, I don't like to have my ears blocked off from life.
@meotzi I can't handle the earphones but I do sit and look at photos or play solitaire at times... His tattoo collection was interesting, the leg one looked like a home job. I wondered if the star was for Australia (part of the Southern Cross) He was speaking to another young man at one point so I heard that he was off to Sydney for a week and then "home" which I think from his accent was probably Germany.
"slice of life" is a good description for this. I have to admit that I find my iphone very fascinating. If I am by myself, there is always something interesting to look up or read.
