The Reality of Perception

thnx

[Anonymous-Chick]

We, as a society, cannot read signs.

My driving instructor tried to trick me once, while driving on the side of the road there was this sign hidden in extremely long grass so it was not very visible. He thought I wouldn't have saw it so he tried to catch me out by asking me what it was. Good thing I'm observant and did notice it. I think he was impressed.

i agree as well. over the past couple of weeks ive noticed more and more people driving that are completely oblivious what is going on around them. you should always be aware of your surroundings.

I agree! I think we (especially drivers) are so overstimulated that we miss basic things. If someone is texting, singing along to their favorite song, and smoking a cigarette while downshifting, who really expects them to have the time to read a street sign or think about traffic laws? bah. As for body language and signs in interpersonal interaction... well... I think it's a tricky combination of most of us not knowing how to say what we think, as well as listening to what the other party is saying-without-saying-it. But I like your openness approach, and I think that reaching out to others is something that is valued less and less, as we become disconnected from one another, even in the most intimate settings. Ever talk to a stranger on the bus? Who would, when they have an iPod, or a phone to pretend to text on?
