Sleep Driving In Lala Land

Having recently returned from Scotland I have concluded
that the drivers there are far superior to the drivers in Canada.

Why?

One reason.
If you don't pay attention to your driving in Scotland,
you will either go over a cliff or be run off the road.
Either way you may be dead.

The roads are so narrow, and the cliffs are so steep,
that a moment of inattention might be your last.

I didn't see anyone driving with a cell phone to their ear.
I don't think I saw anyone driving with a smoke in their hand.
I don't think I saw anyone driving with a Tim Horton's in their hand.

In Canada everyone has a cell to their ear while driving.
Many also have a smoke, a coffee, or both in their hands.

The roads are so wide open and straight that
there is little demand for attention.

Our desire for convenience and safety
has disconnected us from our environment.

We don't pay attention because we don't have to.

Rather than pay attention to safety, wear a helmet.
Rather than pay attention to accuracy, throw it away and start over.
Rather than pay attention to what you are doing, do it on autopilot.
Rather than pay attention to reality, create your own reality.
Rather than pay attention to Life, live in Lala land .

Plugged into every orfice, we are wired into a world
that is far far removed from the reality of Life.

Multitasking.
Undue Care and Attention.
Attention Deficit.
Divided Attention.
Continuous Partial Attention.
Dreamworld.
Robot Life.
Zobified.
Lala land.
Asleep.
