cdaveThe other day the Google blog observed that "fewer teens are wearing watches now because they use their phones to tell time instead"
I'd been wondered about that myself a while ago. Fortunately I knew an author who was looking explain, the mythology of mobile phones and other modern fairy tales.
I don't normally read Fantasy, but I really enjoyed these. So I can only make obvious comparison to Gaiman's stuff where you're being shown the gritty stuff that lays just below and around our realities.
I guess I ought to link to the other question I asked: Who are those people who don’t get off when a train reaches the end of the line? It's a long answer, a little bit sentimental, and definitely worth reading.
I'm really not sure why I didn't link to this at the time. The site's not been updated in a while, but Eric can only follow his muses prodding.
He has been updating Websnark (his non-fiction site) periodically again, so fingers crossed.

but read the story, rather than the spoiler.
