Riding a London subway, a person from China will
notice one major difference; in London,
people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all time. That's
not rudeness- people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing
what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet
reflection(沉思).Nor are they
reading a book. New techology has replaced quiet
habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an
e-book.
Apple must
earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007,
over 40,000-yes, that's 40,000-"apps"(programs downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed.
Commuters
love them because they are the perfect time-filler. One
"app",called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube
Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of
their destination(目的地). ISteam clouds the iPhone screen
when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the
"steam" on your phone screen.
For those
without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod,
may be the distraction(消遣)of choice.
It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music-iPods are a
popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games,
e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would
prefer a film? The development of palm(掌上)DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or
film on the way to work. With all this distraction, it's amazing that people
still remember to get off the train.
