Humankind is a herd animal. We gather. Like lemmings to a cliff, we follow where the herd goes. We gather in cities, we gather in stadiums, and we gather outside the Apple store before a new cellphone releases. Even when we’re home alone, we use that phone to gather in a social media metaphysical space. It makes sense, then, that we gather to look at something strange and new. When we’re in a foreign land, we gather in a tour, comforted by the presence of others, basking in the familiar feelings of a TED Talk happening live in front of us by an experienced Tour Guide. But this guide is not a video, it is another human. Our attention deficit brains want to switch tabs and browse Twitter during the lecture. When we gather for a live tour, should we be focused on the guide’s space? or MySpace? Find your buddy with Veronique and Mat as we speak over the guide, oblivious to ruining the experience of Tour Groups!



*Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble.
