A couple of months ago, I walked into a salon for a haircut. The barber was deeply engrossed in his phone, barely acknowledging my presence. Meanwhile, the TV blared a loud song-and-dance sequence, but no one seemed to care. It felt as if he was watching the same song on his phone, completely detached from the screen in front of him.
Today, I visited the same salon again. This time, the TV was off, but the barber was still glued to his phone. It struck me—television is slowly losing its grip, its once-dominant presence fading before the irresistible pull of mobile screens. The shift is subtle but undeniable. The mobile phone has become the undisputed king of attention.
