Staying up with society is the main trigger of Projection. The Present is virtually invisible in this day and age.

The Present is the only Reality, ironically the most difficult to live in.
In our digital world, the Present travels relentlessly.
We buy the latest model of smartphone when the updated version is already in the making… and if we are comfortable with an old device, we are deemed lazy and antisocial.

Technology is enslaving us.
Even so-called ‘geeks’, are having a hard time keeping up with technology.
The ‘Now’ is the new ‘Tomorrow’. 

Language is the key sign of the time.
Customary questions the likes of “What are you doing”, are put in a “What are you going to do” context.

The trend is all the more pronounced in traditional technological societies like Asia, where I live: the ‘Conversation starter’ is always “What will you do here?!”, rather than “What do you do here?” 
Routinely unnerving to me, prompting to snap sarcastically as  “I’ll eat dinner, tomorrow this time…”, to the horror of my Asian wife, shooting me at eye-point. Masking is definitely not my thing, proudly so.

We can’t afford to let go of the guard.
Obviously, someone is benefiting from all this, media giants to start with.

The pressure is almost unbearable, although I refuse to conform.
