Drive Safely...
A few weeks back someone died on the other side of the world. Not uncommon. Happens every second or two, on average.
I'd never met her, or been within at least about 6000 kilometres of her.
I don't know what she looked like, or even her name, though I'd very likely recognise both. One of many pretty laughing faces.
I know there was a car accident, but I don't know anything about it, or what happened afterwards. Or what is happening now.
Yet I've been keeping her to mind.
So when it comes up at dinner that "isn't X at that conference too?" and the response is "didn't you hear? there was an accident", the world stops for a second. Turns out all is well for human lives if not machines in this case.
But much closer than we'd like.
