Montparnasse (NOTICING and noting)

It's amazing how many people stroll around the streets of Paris occupied by their cell phone gizmos. But who are these people and what makes them different? The first that walks by is on the phone with earphones, but seems to be talking a few decibels too high. The second, wears an oversized, white polka-dotted hat. The third talks while a pretty young lady stands at his side. As I kept walking, the amount of people walking while on their phones was surprising. Especially the ones who were attempting to cross the chaotic streets of Paris while chatting or dialing on their technology companion. I held my breath just watching.
