I just spent a few minutes searching wierd news on Yahoo, trying to find the story of a baby born in Japan that had enlarged ear folds that would eventually hold a cell phone but alas no luck.Dale - is there a miniature cellphone implanted into that guy's palm?
Can anyone es'plaine this!

Everybody has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
Dale stated
If Dale didn't tells us that it was ASL symbol for being bored, then all the observations of that image are true.
Is that image inviting others to join or seeking isolation? For me it very striking commentary of our society, if I accept the observation of someone holding a cell phone. All you have to do is look everywhere and see people standing alone, with in most cases, with expressionless faces, as we assume they are talking to another stand alone person, somewhere else.
Everybody is talking about.????.... but are they listening.

Simplicity and the simpleness of a drawn line sometimes speaks volumes. Here you have the simple image of an outline of a human being (no gender defined) with his/her hand to their face. One said it was a cell phone,another a small rude gesturel but what it does show is an individual alone on huge piece of paper.Wish I could take credit for its starkness, it's minimalism, it's negative capability.

10-20 years ago, heck maybe even FIVE years ago if you saw someone walking down the street alone, talking away, you would think the person crazy or maybe even something worse.MarkB wrote:All you have to do is look everywhere and see people standing alone, with in most cases, with expressionless faces, as we assume they are talking to another stand alone person, somewhere else.

Today, and I am still getting used to this paradigm, the thought is that they are talking on a cell phone with an ear mic/speaker. I am still not used to desk jockies that use them. I constantly "interupt" people that, to me, are just sitting there staring at their computer screens only to have the "just a minute finger" go up and the phone conversation continues.
They need a "I am on the phone" sign!
