The Teething Phone

Sitting in the park, I noticed an elderly lady with a baby. I assumed it was her grandchild. The baby was mouthing on a cell phone.

At first I thought this cell phone was a toy but a closer view confirmed that was an active cell phone with a brightly lit screen. What a tremendous metaphor for these times. Here is a baby whose life is likely to be intricate linked with a cell phone, but for now, he gets to bite into it.
