Screen-voyeurist

Screen-voyeurist – a person actively practicing to observe personal life of people through spying on their screens in public transport, office or at home.

When traveling in public transport, observer’s view unwittingly falls on the screens with the personal life inside out. “My sweet cat, I’m coming”, the owner of a smartphone is typing a message, someone next to her is sending a personal SMS, somebody on one side is “liking”, on the other — is mindlessly poking in Secret. The same picture takes place in the office: person unwillingly becomes an observer of personal life of virtually every screen; someone’s Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc. and personal photos catch the eye.

– Hey! Are you a spy or what?
– Huh?!
– You're watching what I'm doing on my iPhone all the time!
– Sorry... Can't do anything with it. View is unwittingly falling there – I'm a screen-voyeurist.

Facebook shower

Facebook-shower (or morning Facebook) – the phenomenon when for a person the first thing to do in the morning is to read the Facebook feed.

Some believe that this morning information inflow helps the brain to wake up. So some people “switch on” their brains in the morning by reading news or destructing several rows of beads. Others believe that this presents a manifestation of information addiction, and one should keep a tight rein on such actions.

According to the research conducted by SOASTA, 92 percent of New-Yorkers start their day with a smartphone check. Most often, respondents open e-mail (67%) and read Facebook news feed (40%).

– Hey there Tom!
– Good morning Jesse!
– How was your start of the day?
– Well.. nothing special.. Facebook shower, coffee and Pokemon-Go walking to the office.

tablet zombie

opt. 'mobile zombie' people with a device in hands, frozen in space, as if going somewhere, their need to respond to a new e-mail or check updates caught them by surprise.

These people can walk slowly with their tablet or mobile in hands, reminding zombies. Sometimes they hide in far cafe corners and become similar to a self-absorbed plankton, swaying on the waves.

By ignoring surroundings tablet zombies can create dangerous situations in public spaces such as subway or street. Some users say that they can do the familiar path having no problems, without looking at the road. However, this leads to many risks...

- How did you get that bruise?!
- Yesterday I went to a mall and I've slammed my forehead into a strange guy!
- Holy cow!
- Yeah, that crazy guy was keeping staring at his Samsung right before getting off from the escalator!
- It was a tablet zombie by the way
- Wow! They are here!
