Dois estranhos estão lado a lado, encostados numa das paredes da sala de concerto. Dois estranhos encontram-se todos os dias no comboio das 8:13. Outros dois estranhos almoçam quase sempre no mesmo café. Com as pessoas estranhas tem-se pouca conversa.
Dois estranhos encontram-se no estrangeiro. Dois estranhos encontram-se no supermercado junto à casa dos primos. Dois estranhos encontram-se casualmente longe do sítio onde a sua estranheza é habitual. Dois estranhos ficam espantados e a estranha distancia de dois estranhos transforma-se em proximidade. De súbito são os dois melhores amigos em quilómetros e quilómetros. Os dois melhores amigos à face da terra, para não ser menos exagerado do que o exagero de dois estranhos que se conhecem agirem como dois estranhos.

Do you realize what you lose?
Não tenho dúvida de que é fundamental existir e saber abraçar o "new thinking". Mas também tenho a certeza de que é fundamental saber o que se perde, principalmente quem nunca teve o que perdeu.
"- The other day I was in my doctor’s office, and what do you do in your doctor’s office? Wait. In the past I would be sitting and reading the magazines, I would be looking around the office looking for funny weird stuff and maybe something would strike me as a good story idea. Maybe I would just be looking at other people waiting. Who knows? Instead, I pull up my phone. Suddenly, I’m not looking around me anymore, I’m looking at the screen of my iPhone, and…
- You’re an ambivalent tweeter there Susan. I mean, you’re a star tweeter but you’re an ambivalent tweeter, I can hear it. I mean, David described that exact same thing except standing in line at Starbucks was his example. To him it was nothing but a good thing that he didn’t just have to stand in line in Starbucks, he could be tweeting while standing in line. He had saved that time, he had made productive use of that time. You are enough of an old thinker to realize you lose something when you’re not looking around at the Starbucks that you’re in."
