The San Francisco Chronicle tells the story of a train car filled with commuters so engrossed in their cell phones, no one seemed to notice as a passenger pulled out a gun and shot someone. Authorities say the incident highlights a disturbing phenomenon. People are paying so much attention to their digital devices, that they’re no longer aware of their surroundings, whether it be in a train car or crossing a busy intersection.
